The Fields Of Athenry Cifras

[Verse 1]
       C                   F                 C   G  G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
C                 F          G    G7
Michael they are taking you away
         C                F              C                   G
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
          G                G7           C  F  C
Now the prison ship lies Waiting in the Bay
 
[Chorus]
 C   F        C            Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      C                    Am
Where once we watched the small free bird
 G   G7
fly
    C                F             C
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams  
               G
and songs to sing
          G                G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of 
     C  F  C
Athenry
 
[Verse 2]
      C              C      F                C      G G7
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young 
    C       G  G7
man calling
 C               F              G     G7
Nothing matters Mary when your free
              C             F         C                   G
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled they ran me down
     G                   G7           C F C
Now you must raise our child with dignity
 
[Chorus]
 C   F        C            Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      C                    Am
Where once we watched the small free bird
 G   G7
fly
    C                F             C
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams  
               G
and songs to sing
          G                G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of 
     C  F  C
Athenry
 
[Verse 3]
       C             C        F                     C     G  G7
By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling
         C                 F               G   G7
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
           C                  F             C              G
And she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love at botany bay
         G                G7            C   F  C
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
 
[Chorus]
 C   F        C            Am
Low lie the fields of Athenry
      C                    Am
Where once we watched the small free bird
 G   G7
fly
    C                F             C
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams  
               G
and songs to sing
          G                G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of 
     C  F  C
Athenry
          G                G7
Now it's lonely round the fields of 
     F   C
Athenry
