Chords with lyrics

verse 1:

G+G           C majorC
By a lonely prison wall

G+G            D MajorD
i heard a young girl calling

G+G         C majorC     D MajorD
michael they have taken you away

G+G            C majorC
for you stole trevalyans corn

G+G              D MajorD
so the young might see the morn

now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay

low lie the fields of athenry

where once we watched the small freebirds fly

G+G           D MajorD   G+G             D MajorD
our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

D MajorD                   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 you're free
against the famine and the crown
i rebelled they cut me down
now you must raise our child with dignity

verse 3:

by a lonely harbour wall
she watched the last star falling
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
she lived in hope and prayer
for her love in botany bay
its so lonely round the fields of athenry
