Dubliners - Fields of athenry

By a lone^Dly prison wall I hea^D7rd a young^G girl calling, ^{D A} Mich^Dael, they have taken you a^Gway. ^{A A7} For you stole T^Drevelyan's corn, so the you^Gng might see the mo^Drn, ^A Now a prison sh^Emip lies waiting in the^A bay. ^D

Low lie ^Gthe fields ^Dof Athenry, ^Bm Where once we ^Dwatched small free birds fl^Bmy. ^{A A7} Our love^D was on the wing, we had d^Greams and songs to^D sing, ^A It's so lone^Emly around the fields of A^Athenry. ^D

By a lone^Dly prison wall I hear^D7d a young^G man calling, ^{D A} Mary,^D nothing matters when^G you're free, ^{A A7} Against the famine and ^Dthe Crown I rebelled, t^Ghey ran me dow^Dn, ^A Please say tha^Emt you will watch and wai^At for me. ^D

By a lonely harbour wall she watch^D7ed the last sta^Gr falling, ^{D A} As the prison^D ship sailed out against th^Ge sky. ^{A A7} Sure she'll live and^D hope and pray for her love^G in Botany Bay, ^{D A} It's so lonel^Emy round the fields of ^AAthenry. ^D
