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.

        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
