The Wolfetones – The Fields Of Athenry tab
Chords:
"The Fields of Athenry" as performed by Jill Anderson D G D A By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling D G D A "Michael, they are takinÂ’ you away, D G For you stole Trevelyan's corn, D A So the young might see the morn. A7 D Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay." G D And low lie the fields of Athenry A Where once we watched the small free birds fly D G Our love was on the wing D A We had dreams and songs to sing A7 D It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. D G D A By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling D G D A "Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free D G Against the famine and the crown, D A I rebelled, they ran me down. A7 D Now you must raise our child with dignity." G D And low lie the fields of Athenry A Where once we watched the small free birds fly D G Our love was on the wing D A We had dreams and songs to sing A7 D It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. D G D A By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling D G D A As the prison ship sailed out against the sky D G D A But sheÂ’ll wait and hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay A7 D It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry. G D And low lie the fields of Athenry A Where once we watched the small free birds fly D G Our love was on the wing D A We had dreams and songs to sing A7 D It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
