Chords with lyrics

C majorC          FF         C majorC  G+G G7G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
C majorC         FF     G+G  G7G7
Michael they are taking you away
     C majorC        FF       C majorC          G+G
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
     G+G        G7G7      C majorC FF C majorC
Now the prison ship lies Waiting in the Bay

 C majorC  FF    C majorC      A minorAm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
   C majorC          A minorAm
Where once we watched the small free bird
 G+G  G7G7
fly
  C majorC        FF       C majorC
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams
        G+G
and songs to sing
     G+G        G7G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of
   C majorC FF C majorC
Athenry

   C majorC       C majorC   FF        C majorC   G+G G7G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young
  C majorC    G+G G7G7
man calling
 C majorC        FF       G+G   G7G7
Nothing matters Mary when your free
       C majorC       FF     C majorC          G+G
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they ran me down
   G+G          G7G7      C majorC FF C majorC
Now you must raise our child with dignity

    C majorC       C majorC    FF           C majorC   G+G G7G7
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
     C majorC         FF        G+G  G7G7
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
      C majorC         FF       C majorC       G+G
And she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love at botany bay
     G+G        G7G7      C majorC  FF C majorC
