E
By a lonely prison wall
A E B7
I heard a young girl calling
E A B7
Micheal they are taking you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn

So the young might see the morn.
E A E
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
E A E C#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E C#m B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E A E B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.

By a lonely prison wall
A E B7
I heard a young man calling

Nothing matter Mary when your free,

Against the Famine and the Crown

I rebelled they cut me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

By a lonely harbor wall
A E B7
She watched the last star falling

As that prison ship sailed out against the sky

Sure she'll wait and hope and pray

For her love in Botany Bay
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
