B7B7 E MajorE
E MajorE
By a lonely prison wall
A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
I heard a young girl calling
E MajorE A augmentedA B7B7
Micheal they are taking you away
E MajorE A augmentedA
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
E MajorE B7B7
So the young might see the morn.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE C# minorC#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E MajorE C# minorC#m B7B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
E MajorE
By a lonely prison wall
A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
I heard a young man calling
E MajorE A augmentedA B7B7
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
E MajorE A augmentedA
Against the Famine and the Crown
E MajorE B7B7
I rebelled they cut me down
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE C# minorC#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E MajorE C# minorC#m B7B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
E MajorE
By a lonely harbor wall
A augmentedA E MajorE B7B7
She watched the last star falling
E MajorE A augmentedA B7B7
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
E MajorE A augmentedA
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
E MajorE B7B7
For her love in Botany Bay
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
