Capo 4th fret to play along with the version above
 
[Verse 1]
C                          F                  C   G
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl cal-ling
C                F           G
Michael they are taking you away
        C                 F           C                   G
For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn
      G                               C
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
 
[Chorus]
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry 
      C                                    G
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing 
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        G                               C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
 
[Verse 2]
C                          F                 C   G
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man cal-ling
C               F                G
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
            C              F           C                  G
Against the famine and the crown, I re-belled they cut me down
    G                                  C
Now you must raise our child with dignity
 
[Chorus]
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry 
      C                                    G
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing 
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        G                               C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
 
[Verse 3]
   C                       F                     C   G
By lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fal-ling
       C                  F               G
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
           C                F            C              G
For she'll live in hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
                                        C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
 
[Chorus]
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry 
      C                                    G
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing 
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        G                               C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
 
C   F       C              Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry 
      C                                    G
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    C               F
Our love was on the wing 
       C                   G
We had dreams and songs to sing
        G                               C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
