The Fields Of Athenry Chords by The High Kings

[Start]

[Verse]
F                      
By a lonely prison wall
Bb                   F       C
I heard a young girl calling ■
F            Bb         C       
Michael they have taken you away
C7 F                        Bb  
■  For you stole Trevelyn's corn
F                      C       
So the young might see the morn
Gm7              C               F      
As a prison ship lies waiting in the bay


[Chorus]
Gm7 F   Bb  F             Dm7     Dm
■   Low lie the fields of Athenry ■ 
F                         Bb                  
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
F            Bb             F                           
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
C                     C7            F       Bb Dm
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry ■  ■ 


[Verse]
Bb F                      
■  By a lonely prison wall
Bb              F   C      
I heard a young man calling
F       Bb                           
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
F                      Bb       
Against the famine and the Crown
F                   C      
I rebelled they cut me down
Gm7                C              F       Bb F
Now you must raise our child with dignity ■  ■


[Chorus]
Gm7 F   Bb  F             Dm      Dm7
■   Low lie the fields of Athenry ■  
F                         Bb               C  
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
F            Bb             F                           
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
Gm7            Csus4      C7        F       Bb
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry ■ 


[Verse]
F                      
By a lonely harbor wall
Bb                   F            C
She watched the last star falling ■
F                   Bb                     C  
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
F                    Dm7      Bb  
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
Bb                        
For her love in Botany Bay
Gm7            Csus4      C      F          Bb F
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry ■  ■


[Chorus]
Bb  F                 Dm     
Low lie the fields of Athenry
F                                    C        
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
F               Bb          F                    Dm7 Csus4
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to  sing 
Gm7            C7                   F      
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenry
