The Fields Of Athenry Cifras

[Verse 1]
D                   D7      G                D      A
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling,
D                    G          A A7
Michael, they have taken you away.
          D                G             D                   A
For you stole Trevelyan's corn, so the young might see the morn,
      Em                A             D
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
 
[Chorus]
D    G       D          Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
       D                Bm              A  A7
Where once we watched small free birds fly.
      D               G           D                   A
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing,
          Em                A             D
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry.
 
[Verse 2]
  D                 D7      G               D     A
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling,
D             G                   A   A7
Mary, nothing matters when you're free,
              D              G       D                   A
Against the famine and the Crown I rebelled, they ran me down, 
      Em                 A                  D
Please say that you will watch and wait for me.
 
[Chorus]
D    G       D          Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
       D                Bm              A  A7
Where once we watched small free birds fly.
      D               G           D                   A
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing,
          Em                A             D
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry.
 
[Verse 3]
D                   D7        G                    D      A
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling,
        D                 G               A  A7
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
             D                 G            D              A
Sure she'll live and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay, 
         Em                A          D
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. 
 
[Chorus]
D    G       D          Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
       D                Bm              A  A7
Where once we watched small free birds fly.
      D               G           D                   A
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing,
          Em                A             D
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry.
 
[Outro]
D    G       D          Bm
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
       D                Bm              A  A7
Where once we watched small free birds fly.
      D               G           D                   A
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing,
          Em                A             D
It's so lonely around the fields of Athenry.
