[Verse 1]
G C G D
By the lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
G C D
Michael, they have taken you away
G C G D
For you stole Trevelyan's corn so the young might see the morn'
D G
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay
[Chorus]
G C G Em
Low lie the fields of Athenry
G D
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
Our love was on the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus4 G
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 2]
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, they cut me down
D G
Now you must raise our child with dignity
[Chorus]
G C G Em
Low lie the fields of Athenry
G D
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
Our love was on the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus4 G
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Verse 3]
G C G D
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling
G C D
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
G C G D
For she'd live in hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay
G
and it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Chorus]
G C G Em
Low lie the fields of Athenry
G D
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
Our love was on the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus4 G
and so lonely round the fields of Athenry

Low lie the fields of Athenry
