Fields Of Athenry

**Chords:**
G  C  G  D  G

G                   C        G
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling,
G                 C         G
Michael, they are taking you away.
G                      C         G
For you stole Trevelyan's corn, so the young might see the morn,
G                C         G      D      G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.

G                   C        G
Low lie the fields of Athenry,
G                   C        G
Where once we watched the small free birds fly,
G                   C          G
Our love was on the wing,
G                      C        G
We had dreams and songs to sing,
G                  C           G      D      G
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
