Verse: (Guitar 1 Tacet)

D MajorD
By a lonely prison wall
G+G              D MajorD   A augmentedA
I heard a young girl calling
D MajorD             G+G       A augmentedA
Michael, they have taken you away
D MajorD         G+G
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
      D MajorD              A augmentedA
So the young might see the morn
A augmentedA                          D MajorD

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

(Guitar 1 enters on D MajorD chord, both guitars grad. lift PM)


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

Nothing matters, Mary when you're free
D MajorD                   G+G
Against the famine and the Crown
D MajorD                A augmentedA
I rebelled, they cut me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity
