[Intro]
Em C Em C D

[Verse 1]
G C G D
By lone prison walls, I heard a young girl calling,
G C D
Michael they have taken you away
G C G D
For you stole Trevelyn's corn, so the young might see the morn,
C G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

[Chorus]
G C G Em
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
G Em 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,
C G
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Verse 2]
G C G D
By a lonely harbour 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 ran me down
C G
Now you must raise our child with dignity

[Chorus]
G C G Em
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
G Em 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,
Em
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

[Instrumental]
Em C Em C D
Of Athenry

[Verse 3]
G C G D
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling,
G C D
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
