[Verse 1]
GBy a lonely prGmaj7ison wEmall,
CI heard a young girl Gcalling: D
G"Michael, they have tCaken you Daway,
GFor you stole Trevelyn's cCorn,
GSo the young might see the mDorn,
DNow a prison ship lies waiting in the Gbay.C" G
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields oGmaj7f AtheEmnrye,
GWhere once we watched the small free birds Dfly.
GOur love was on the Cwing,
We had Gdreams and songs to Dsing,
DIt's so lonely 'round the fCields of GAthenrye.
[Verse 2]
GBy a lonely prGmaj7ison wEmall,
CI heard a young man cGalling: D
G"Nothing matters, MarCy, when you're Dfree,
GAgainst the famine and the Ccrown,
GI rebelled, they cut me doDwn,
DNow you must raise our Cchild with Gdignity."
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields oGmaj7f AtheEmnrye,
GWhere once we watched the small free birds Dfly.
GOur love was on the Cwing,
We had Gdreams and songs to Dsing,
DIt's so lonely 'round the fCields of GAthenrye.
[Verse 3]
GBy a lonely haGmaj7rbour Emwall,
CShe watched the last star Gfalling. D
GAs the prison ship sailed oCut against the Dsky.
GFor she lives in hope and Cprays,
GFor her love in Botany DBay,
DIt's so lonely, 'round the Cfields of GAthenrye.
[Chorus]
GLow Clie the Gfields oGmaj7f AtheEmnrye,
GWhere once we watched the small free birds Dfly.
GOur love was on the Cwing,
We had Gdreams and songs to Dsing,
DIt's so lonely 'round the fCields of GAthenrye.
