Verse 1:
     Eb                    G#                 Eb  Bb
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Eb                G#         Bb 
Michael they have taken you away
        Eb               G#           Eb                  Bb
For you stole Trevelyn's corn, so the young might see the morn
      Bb                              Eb
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Chorus:
Eb  G#      Eb             Cm
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
      Eb                  Cm?              Bb
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
    Eb              G#          Eb                  Bb
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
        Bb                               Eb
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

Verse 2:
     Eb                    G#                Eb  Bb
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
Eb               G#               Bb
Nothing matters, Mary when you're free
        Eb             G#         Eb                 Bb
Against famine and the Crown, I rebelled they cut me down
    Bb                                 Eb
Now you must raise our child with dignity

Verse 3:
     Eb                      G#                    Eb  Bb
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling
     Eb                 G#              Bb
As a prison ship sailed out against the sky
            Eb                G#            Eb             Bb
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay
        Bb                               Eb
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
