G5                            C5                  G5   D5    
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
G5                 C5         D5
Micheal they have taken you away
G5                       C5           G5                   D5
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
D5                                 G5  
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Chorus 
G5   C5   G5             E5          
Low Lie The fields of athenry 
G5                                  D5  
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G5                C5 
our love was the wing 
G5                          D5
We had dreams and songs to sing
D5                        D5      G5
and so lonely  round the fields of athenry

Verse 2
G5                            C5                 G5   D5  
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
G5               C5              D5
Nothing matters mary when your free
G5                          C5        G5                  D5                
against the famine and the crown, i rebelled they cut me down
D5                                  G5
now you must  raise our child with dignity

Chorus

Verse 3
G5                          C5                         G5  D5
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-lling
G5                  C5                      D5
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
G5                         C5    G5               D5 
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
                                       G5
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
