[C]
By a [C] lonely prison wing, my girl I've taken you away
For your soldier billions call, so the young might see the morn
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Lost fields of our thin roads, we watched the [G] small free [G] birds fly
Our love was on the wing, [C] we had dreams and songs to sing
[G] It's so lonely around the fields of our thin [C]
roads
For your lonely prison war, I hang
Nothing matters Mary when [C] you're free
[G] Against the famine and the [C]
crown, they poured me down
Now you must raise our child with dignity
Lost fields of our thin roads, we watched the small free [G] birds fly
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
[G] It's so lonely around the fields of [C] our thin roads
[C] [G] For your lonely harbor, she watched the last hour falling
[C] As that prison ship sailed out against [G] the sky
For she lived in hope [C] and pray, for her love in the honey bay
It's [D] so lonely around the fields of our thin roads
Lost [F]
[C] fields of our thin [A] roads, we [C] watched the small [G] free birds fly
Our love was on [F] the wing, we had dreams and songs [G] to sing
It's so lonely around the fields of our thin roads
[Ab]
