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
1ST CHORUS - ACAPELLA
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.
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.
