Lyrics

[Intro]
| A | - | D | - |

[Verse 1]
A     D
 By a lonely prison wall
  G                  D   A
I heard a young girl calling
D                   G          A
"Michael, they have taken you away
        D                     G
For you stole Trevelyan's corn
       D                   A
So the young might see the morn
                                      D
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay"

[Chorus]
D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
      D                   Bm               A
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
                                         D
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

[Verse 2]
A D   G D
   By a lonely prison wall
  G                 D   A
I heard a young man calling
D                 G                 A
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free
            D              G
Against the Famine and the Crown
    D                   A
I rebelled, they cut me down
                                       D
Now you must raise our child with dignity"

[Chorus]
D   G       D              Bm
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
      D                   Bm               A
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    D               G
Our love was on the wing
       D                   A
We had dreams and songs to sing
                                         D
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

[Verse 3]
   G D
By a lonely harbor wall
    G                     D   A
She watched the last star falling
        D                  G               A
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
             D                 G
Sure, she'll wait and hope and pray
        D              A
For her love in Botany Bay
                                         D
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
