Fields Of Athenry

Biography:

Dropkick Murphys is a punk rock band formed in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States in 1996. First playing together in the basement of a friend's barbershop, the band made a name for itself because of its relentless touring and for its annual St. Patrick's Day weekend shows in Boston. The band's songs often deal with Celtic influences, and the working-class environment in which the band members grew up.

The band put out a series of EPs and was signed by Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.

[Verse 1]

D#5
By a lonely prison wall,
G#5 D#5 B5
I heard a young girl calling
D#5 G#5 B5
Michael, they have taken you away,
D#5 G#5
For you stole Trevelyan´s corn,
D#5 B5
So the young might see the morn.
D#5
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

[Refrain]

D#5 G#5 D#5 C5
Low lie the fields of Athenry.
D#5 C5 B5
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
D#5 G#5
Our love was on the wing,
D#5 B5
we had dreams and songs to sing
D#5
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you´re free!
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, thy cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.

[Refrain]

D#5 G#5 D#5 C5
Low lie the fields of Athenry.
D#5 C5 B5
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
D#5 G#5
Our love was on the wing,
D#5 B5
we had dreams and songs to sing
D#5
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling.
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she´ll wait and hope , for her love in Botany Bay
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Refrain]

D#5 G#5 D#5 C5
Low lie the fields of Athenry.
D#5 C5 B5
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
D#5 G#5
Our love was on the wing,
D#5 B5
we had dreams and songs to sing
D#5
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
