Fields Of Athenry Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]By the lonely prison wall,
[G]I heard a young g[D]irl call
[A]ing [D]Michael
they have [G]taken you [D]away[A]
For [D]you stole Trevagan's [G]corn,
So [D]the young might see the [A]morn,
Now a prison ship lies waiting in [D]the bay.
La -la [G]-hee, the [D]fields of Attenry
Where once we watched
the small free birds [A]fly[Asus4][A]
Our [D]love was on the [G]wing
We had [D]dreams and songs to [A]sing
It's so lonely round the fields of [D]Athenry
By the lonely prison wall
[G]I heard a young m[D]an calli[A]ng
[D]Nothing matters, [G]Mary,
when you're [A]free
Again[D]st the famine and the [G]crown,
I [D]re belled, they caught me [A]down
Now you must raise our child
with [D]dignity[G][D]
[A]We [D]had [G]dream[D]s
and songs to sing
It's a [A]lonely round the fields of Ahtenry
[D]I[G][D]
[A][D][A][D][G][D][A]
[D]
By the lonely harbour wall,
[G]she watched the last star [D]falling[A]
As the [D]prison ship sailed
[G]out against the sky[A]
She [D]will live in hope
and [G]pray for her [D]love in Botany Bay
[A]It's lonely round the fields of [D]Athenry
La -la [G]-hee, [D]the fields of Athenry
Where once we watched
the small three birds [A]fly[D][A]
Our [D]love was on the [G]way
We had [D]dreams and songs to [A]sing
It's a lonely round the fields of [D]Athenry.
La [G]-la -ee, [D]the fields of Athenry,
Where once we watched
the small three birds [A]fly.
Our [D]love was on the [G]wing,
We had [D]dreams and songs to [A]sing.
It's a lonely round the
fields of Attaway.
[D][G][D]
