Fields of Athenry
This version is different because it's transcribed it in a different key
than the others. It works best if the CHORDS are arpegiated while played. Transcribed
by me for the Irish band/group BarleyJuice.

[Verse-1]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [G7]
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
[C] [F] [G] [G7]
Michael they are taking you away
[C] [F] [C] [G]
For you stole trevalians corn, that the young might see the morn
[G] [G7] [C]-[F]-[C]
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the bay
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
[C] [F] [C] [Am]
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
[C] [Am] [G] [G7]
Where once we watched the small free bird fly
[C] [F] [C] [G]
Our love was on the wing, we had dreams and songs to sing
[G] [G7] [C]-[F]-[C]
Now it's lonely round the Fields of Athenry
------------------------------------------------------
[Verse-2]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [G7]
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
[C] [F] [G] [G7]
Nothing matters Mary when you're free
[C] [F] [C] [G]
Against the famine and the crown, I rebelled, they ran me down
[G] [G7] [C]-[F]-[C]
Now you must raise our child with dignity
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
------------------------------------------------------
[Verse-3]
[C] [C] [F] [C] [G] [G7]
By a lonely harbour wall, she watched the last star falling
[C] [F] [G] [G7]
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
[C] [F] [C] [G]
But she'll wait and hope and pray, for her love in Botany Bay
[G] [G7] [C]-[F]-[C]
It's so lonely round the Fields of Athenry
------------------------------------------------------
[CHORUS]
