"The Fields of Athenry" as performed by Jill Anderson

D MajorD              G+G         D MajorD A augmentedA
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
D MajorD          G+G   D MajorD  A augmentedA
"Michael, they are takin' you away,
     D MajorD         G+G
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
So the young might see the morn.
                  A7A7 D MajorD
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

     G+G    D MajorD
And low lie the fields of Athenry
                      A augmentedA
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
   D MajorD       G+G
Our love was on the wing
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
We had dreams and songs to sing
                  A7A7 D MajorD
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

D MajorD              G+G        D MajorD A augmentedA
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
 D MajorD         G+G   D MajorD      A augmentedA
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
       D MajorD        G+G
Against the famine and the crown,
   D MajorD          A augmentedA
I rebelled, they ran me down.
                  A7A7 D MajorD
Now you must raise our child with dignity."

     G+G    D MajorD
And low lie the fields of Athenry
                      A augmentedA
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
   D MajorD       G+G
Our love was on the wing
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
We had dreams and songs to sing
                  A7A7 D MajorD
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.


D MajorD                G+G          D MajorD  A augmentedA
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling
D MajorD             G+G  D MajorD     A augmentedA
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
       D MajorD        G+G      D MajorD       A augmentedA
But she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
                   A7A7 D MajorD
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

     G+G    D MajorD
And low lie the fields of Athenry
                      A augmentedA
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
   D MajorD       G+G
Our love was on the wing
     D MajorD          A augmentedA
We had dreams and songs to sing
                  A7A7 D MajorD
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

(Chorus x2)
