Fields of Athenry - Pete St John [C] By a 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 prison ship lies [G7] waiting in the [C] bay. 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. By a [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 you [Dm] must raise our [G7] child with digni[C]ty. Chorus: By a [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:
