Verso 1:
C5                            F5                  C5   G5
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
C5                 F5           G5
Micheal they have taken you a-way
        C5               F5           C5                   G5
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
G5                                 C5
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Refr?o:
C5   F5       C5             A5
Low Lie The fields of athenry
      C5                   A5               G5
where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C5            F5
our love was the wing
       C5                   G5
We had dreams and songs to sing
G5                                      C5
and so lonely round the fields of athenry

Verso 2:
C5                            F5                 C5   G5
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
C5               F5              G5
Nothing matters mary when your free
            C5              F5          C5                  G5
against the famine and the crown, i rebelled they cut me down
G5                                  C5
now you must raise our child with dignity

By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
       C5                  F5               G5
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
        C5                 F5            C5               G5
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
G5                                           C5
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
