[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]

[Verse 2]
I [C] went to an ale house I used to fre-[F]quent,
And I [C] told the land[G7]lady me money’s all [C] spent,
I [C] asked her for credit, she answered me [F] "Nay...
Sure a [C] custom like [G7] yours I could get any [C] day."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my pocket 10 sovereigns [F] bright,
And the [C] landlady's [G7] eyes opened up with de-[C]light,
She [C] said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the [F] best,
And the [C] words that I [G7] told you were only in [C] jest.
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll go [C] home to my parents, confess what I've [F] done,
And I'll [C] ask them to [G7] pardon their prodigal [C] son,
And [C] if they forgive me as oft times be-[F]fore,
Then I [C] never will [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more!
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [G7] never, no [C] more [C]
|
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|[Slowing]
|Will I [C///] plaaaay the wild [F///] rover,
|No [G7///] never, no [C//////] more.
