Verse 1
 
G                            C                  G   D    
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
G                 C         D
Micheal they have taken you away
G                       C           G                   D
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
D                                 G  
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay


Chorus 
G   C   G             Em          
Low Lie The fields of athenry 
G                                  D  
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G                C 
our love was the wing 
G                          D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D                        Dsus4      G
and so lonely  round the fields of athenry


Verse 2

G                            C                 G   D  
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
G               C              D
Nothing matters mary when your free
G                          C        G                  D                
against the famine and the crown, i fought they cut me down
D                                  G
now you must  raise our child with dignity

Chorus

Verse 3
G                          C                         G  D
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
G                  C                      D
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
G                         C    G               D 
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
                                       G
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry
