Chords with lyrics
G+G
By a lonely prison wall
C majorC G+G D MajorD
I heard a young girl calling
G+G C majorC D MajorD
"Michael , they are taking you away"
G+G C majorC
For you stole Treveleyns corn
G+G D MajorD
So the young might see the morn
G+G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Chorus:
G+G C majorC G+G G/F# E minorEm
Low, lie the fields of athenry,
G+G D MajorD
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
G+G C majorC
Our love was on the wing
G+G D MajorD
We had dreams and songs to sing
G+G
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
By a lonely prison wall,
I heard a young man calling,
Nothing Matters Mary when your free
Against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled, they ran me down,
Mow you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus:
By a lonely harbour wall
She watched the last star falling
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
Sure shell wait and hope and pray,
For her love in Botany Bay.
Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
