Verse 1:
G                           C                   G  D
Near a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl cal-ling
G                 C         D
Michael they have taken you away
        G               C           G                   D
For you stole trevelyens corn so the young might see the morn
D                                     G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
Verse 2:
G                         C                 G   D
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man cal-ling 
G               C                D
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
            G              C       G                       D
Against the famine and the crowd I rebelled they called me down
D                               G
Now you must raise a child with dignity
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
Verse 3:
G                           C                      G   D
By a lonely hobble wall she watched the last stalk fal-ling
       G                 C              D
As the prison ship sailed out across the sky
              G                C            G            D
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray for her love in barney bay
D                                  G
It's so lonely round the fields of athenry
Chorus:
G   C       G         Em           G                                      D
Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                   C            G                    D
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
D                                     G
Its so lonely round the fields of athenry
