Fields Of Athenry Chords

[Verse 1]
 
      G                     C                  G  D
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl cal-ling
 G                C          D
Michael they are taken you away
         G                C          
For you stole trevelyans corn so the 
 G                   D
young might see the morn
      D                               G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G   C        G            Em        
Low lie the fields of athenry where 
  G                                    D
once we watched the small free birds fly
     G               C          
Our love was on the wing we had 
  G                    D
dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       G                   C                 G   D
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man cal-ling
 G               C                D
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
             G              C    
Against the famine and the crown 
    G                     D
I rebelled they cut me down
    D                               G
Now you must raise a child with dignity
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G   C        G            Em        
Low lie the fields of athenry where 
  G                                    D
once we watched the small free birds fly
     G               C          
Our love was on the wing we had 
  G                    D
dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
      G                       C                      G   D
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star fal-ling
         G                 C              D
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
             G                 C           G               D
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany bay
         D                              G
It's so lonely round the fields of athenry
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G   C        G            Em        
Low lie the fields of athenry where 
  G                                    D
once we watched the small free birds fly
     G               C          
Our love was on the wing we had 
  G                    D
dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
