Song: FIELDS OF ATHENRY (tempo: Rumba) G C G D By the lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling. G C D Michael, they are taking you away, G C G D for you stole Trevelyn's com so the young might see the mom. D D7 G Now a prisonship lies waiting in the bay. G C G Em Low lie, the Fields of Athenry, G D where once we watched the small free birds fly. G C G D Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing. D D7 G It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. G C G D By the lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling. G C D Nothing matters Mary when you're free, G C G D Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled but they ran me down. D D7 G Now you must raise our child with dignity. G C G Em Low lie, the Fields of Athenry, G D where once we watched the small free birds fly. G C G D Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing. D D7 G It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. |

D D7 G It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry. G C G D By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling. G D And that prisonship sailed out against the sky. G C G D Sure she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay. D D7 G It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry G C G Em Low lie, the Fields of Athenry, G D where once we watched the small free birds fly.
