Fields Of Athenry Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GBy a lonely prison wall

CI heard a young girlG caDlling

G"Michael , they are Ctaking you Daway"

 For you sGtole Treveleyns Ccorn

 So the yGoung might see the Dmorn

 Now a prison ship lies waiting in theG bay

Chorus

GLow, lCie the Gfields ofG aF♯thenEmry,

GWhere once we watched the small free birds Dfly

GOur love was on the Cwing

 We had dGreams and songs to Dsing

 Its so lonely round the Fields of GAthenry

By a lonely prison wall,

I heard a young man calling,

Nothing Matters Mary when your free

Against the Famine and the Crown

I rebelled, they ran me down,

Mow you must raise our child with dignity

Chorus

By a lonely harbour wall

She watched the last star falling

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.

Sure shell wait and hope and pray,

For her love in Botany Bay.

Its so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
