Verse:
     C
By a lonely prison wall
  F                  C   G
I heard a young girl calling

"Michael, they have taken you away
        C                F
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
       C                   G
So the young might see the morn
     Dm7              G              C   F  C  F
As a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

Chorus:
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      C                   F                G    G7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        Dm7               G              C   F  Am C F
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

     C
By a lonely prison wall

I heard a young man calling
 C                F                 G     G7
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
            C              F
Against the famine and the Crown
    C                   G
I rebelled, they cut me down
    Dm7                G               C   F  C  F
Now you must raise our child with dignity"

Chorus:
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        Dm7               G              C    F
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

Verse:
     C
By a lonely harbour wall
    F                     C   G
She watched the last star falling
       C                  F               G    G7
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
        C                 F
For she lives to hope and pray
        C              G
For her love in Botany Bay
        Dm7               G              C   F  C
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
