The Fields Of Athernry(Keyboard chords)

	        
       
 

  


   D  
By a lonely prison wall 
   G                  D    A 
I heard a young girl calling 
 D                 G         A 
Michael they have taken you away 
          D                 G 
For you stole Trevellian’s corn 
             D                   A 
So that our young might see the morn 
                                         D 
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay 


Chorus: 
 D   G        D           Bm 
Low lies the fields of Athenry 
       D                   Bm             A 
Where once we watched the small freebird fly 
     D               G 
Our love was on the wing 
        D                   A 
We had dreams and songs to sing 
               A                           D 
Now it’s so lonely ‘round the fields of Athenry 

      D 
By a lonely prison wall 
    G               D    A 
I heard a young man calling 
    D            G        A  
Nothing matters Mary when you’re free 
 D           G           
Against the famine and the crown 
D           A 
I rose up, they cut me down 
                                      D 
Now you must raise our child with dignity 



Chorus: 
 D   G        D           Bm 
Low lies the fields of Athenry 
       D                   Bm             A 
Where once we watched the small freebird fly 
     D               G 
Our love was on the wing 
        D                   A 
We had dreams and songs to sing 
               A                           D 
Now it’s so lonely ‘round the fields of Athenry 


     D 
By a lonely Prison wall  
    G                      D    A 
She watched the last star falling 
  D                G                 A 
As the prison ship sails out against the sky 
     D                         G 
And all alone she’ll hope and pray 
         D              A 
For her love in Botany Bay 
          A                          D 
It’s so lonely around the fields of Athenry
