Fields of Athenry[C] - The Dubliners [INTRO - Last line of 1st verse] [Dm] [G7] [C] By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young girl [C] call-[G]-ing, [C] Michael they have [F] taken you a-[G]-way, For you [C] stole Trevelyn’s [F] corn, so the [C] young might see the [G] morn, Now a [Dm] prison ship lies [G7] waiting in the [C] bay. |[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry, |Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly, |Our [C] love was on the [F] wing, |We had [C] dreams and songs to [G] sing, |It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry. By the [C] lonely prison wall, I [F] heard a young man [C] call-[G]-ing, [C] Nothing matters [F] Mary when you’re [G] free, Against the [C] famine and the [F] Crown, I re-[C]-belled, they cut me [G] down, Now [Dm] you must raise our [G7] child with digni-[C]-ty. |[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry, |Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly, |Our [C] love was on the [F] wing, |We had [C] dreams and songs to [G] sing, |It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry. By the [C] lonely harbour wall, she [F] watched the last star [C] fall-[G]-ing, As the [C] prison ship sailed [F] out against the [G] sky, For she’ll [C] live in hope and [F] pray, For her [C] love in Botany [G] Bay, It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry [CHORUS - ACAPELLA] |Low lie the fields of Athenry, |Where once we watched the small free birds fly, |Our love was on the wing, |We had dreams and songs to sing, |It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. [CHORUS] |[C] Low [F] lie the [C] fields of Athen-[Am]-ry, |Where [C] once we watched the small free birds [G] fly, |Our [C] love was on the [F] wing, |We had [C] dreams and songs to [G] sing, |It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry. [OUTRO - SLOWLY] It's so [Dm] lonely round the [G7] fields of Athen-[C]-ry. [C*]
