Intro: B E

Verse 1:
     E                     A                  E  B
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
E                  A          B
Michael, they have taken you away
        E                  A          E                    B
For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn'
      B                               E
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Chorus:
E   A       E              Dbm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      E                                    B
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    E               A
Our love was on the wing
       E                   B
We had dreams and songs to sing
        B                B7             E
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Verse 2:
     E                     A                 E  B
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
E                A                 B
Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
            E              A          E                   B
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled, they cut me down
    B                                  E
Now you must raise our child with dignity

Chorus:
E   A       E              Dbm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      E                                    B
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    E               A
Our love was on the wing
       E                   B
We had dreams and songs to sing
        B                B7             E
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Verse 3:
     E                        A                     E  B
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
       E                  A               B
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
          E                 A           E               B
For she'd live in hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
        B                               E
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Chorus:
E   A       E              Dbm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      E                                    B
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    E               A
Our love was on the wing
       E                   B
We had dreams and songs to sing
        B                B7             E
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry


E   A       E              Dbm
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      E                                    B
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    E               A
Our love was on the wing
       E                   B
We had dreams and songs to sing
        B                B7             E   A   E
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
