The Fields Of Athenry Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
D                            G                  D  A
By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
D                  G          A
Michael, they have taken you away
        D                 G           D                   A
For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn
A                                 D
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
A                                      D
and so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
D                            G                 D  A
By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
D               G                 A
Nothing matters Mary, when you're free
            D              G          D                   A
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled, they cut me down
A                                  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
A                                   D
and so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
 
 
[Verse]
 
D                              G                     D  A
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
       D                  G               A
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
        D                 G            D               A
For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
A                                           D
and it's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
 
 
[Chorus] (x2)
 
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
A                                   D
and so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
