Verso 1:
C                            F                  C   G
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
C                 F           G
Micheal they have taken you a-way
        C               F           C                   G
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
G                                 C
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Refr?o:
C   F       C             Am
Low Lie The fields of athenry
      C                   Am               G
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C            F
our love was the wing
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
G                                      C
and so lonely round the fields of athenry

Verso 2:
C                            F                 C   G
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
C               F              G
Nothing matters mary when your free
            C              F          C                  G
against the famine and the crown, i rebelled they cut me down
G                                  C
now you must raise our child with dignity

our love was the wing
       C                   G

By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
       C                  F               G
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
        C                 F            C               G
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
G                                           C
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
