Fields Of Athenry chords by The Dubliners

C          F         C  G G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
C         F     G  G7
Michael they are taking you away
     C        F       C          G
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
     G        G7      C F C
Now the prison ship lies Waiting in the Bay

 C  F    C      Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry
   C          Am
Where once we watched the small free bird
 G  G7
fly
  C        F       C
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams
        G
and songs to sing
     G        G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of
   C F C
Athenry

   C       C   F        C   G G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young
  C    G G7
man calling
 C        F       G   G7
Nothing matters Mary when your free
       C       F     C          G
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they ran me down
   G          G7      C F C
Now you must raise our child with dignity

    C       C    F           C   G G7
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
     C         F        G  G7
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
      C         F       C       G
And she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love at botany bay
     G        G7      C  F C
