[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]My Lonely prison wall
I [G]heard a young girl [D]call[A]ing [D]Michael,
they have [G]taken you [A]away
For you [D]stalled Trevelyan's [G]car
So the [D]young might see the [A]mar
Now a [Em]prison ship lies [A]waiting in [D]the bay
Low [G]lie the [D]fields of Athenry
[Bm]Where once[D] we watched
the small free bird[F#m]s fly[Em][A]
Our [D]love was on the wing
[G]We had dre[D]ams and songs to sin[A]g
Now it's [Em]lonely round the
[A]fields of [D]Athenry
By lonely prison wall
I [G]heard a young man [D]calling
[A]Nothing[D] mat[G]ters, Mary,
when you're [A]free
Against the [D]famine and the [G]crown,
[D]I rebelled, they ran me d[A]own,
Now [Em]you must raise our c[A]hild
with dig[Am]nity.[D]
Low [G]lie the [D]fields of Athenry
[Bm]Where once[D] we watched
the small [F#m]free birds f[Em]ly[A]
Our [D]love was on the wing
[G]We had dre[D]ams and songs to sin[A]g
Now it's [Em]lonely round the [A]fields of
[D]Athenry[G][D][A][Em][A]
[D]
My lonely harbour wall
She [G]watched the lost star [D]falling
[A]As the pri[D]son ship sailed
[G]out against the sky
[A]Now she'll liv[D]e in hope and pra[G]y
[D]For her love in Botany Bay
[A]It's so lon[Em]ely round the
[A]fields of [D]Athenry
Low [G]lie the [D]fields of [A]Athenry
[Bm]Where once[D] we watched
the small [F#m]free birds f[Em]ly[A]
Our [D]love was on the wing
[G]We had dre[D]ams and songs to sin[A]g
No one's so [Em]lonely round the [A]fields of Athenry
[D][G][D][A][Em][A]
[D][Em][A][D]
you
