The Fields Of Athenry chords
Paddy Reilly (Pete St. John) *
B7 E
E
By a lonely prison wall
A E B7
I heard a young girl calling
E A B7
Micheal they are taking you away
E A
For you stole Trevelyn's corn
E B7
So the young might see the morn.
E A E
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
E A E C#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E C#m B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E A E B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
E
By a lonely prison wall
A E B7
I heard a young man calling
E A B7
Nothing matter Mary when your free,
E A
Against the Famine and the Crown
E B7
I rebelled they cut me down
E A E
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
E A E C#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E C#m B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E A E B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
E
By a lonely harbor wall
A E B7
She watched the last star falling
E A B7
As that prison ship sailed out against the sky
E A
Sure she'll wait and hope and pray
E B7
For her love in Botany Bay
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
E A E C#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
E C#m B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
E A E B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing
E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
