verse 1:
G CBy a lonely prison wall
i heard a young girl calling
G C Dmichael they have taken you away
G Cfor you stole trevalyans corn
so the young might see the morn
D Gnow the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
chorus
low lie the fields of athenry
G Dwhere once we watched the small freebirds fly
G D G Dour love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
its so lonely round the fields of athenry
verse 2:
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
chorus instrumental
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
