Eb* G#* Eb* Bb*
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling

Michael they have taken you away

For you stole Trevelyn's corn, so the young might see the morn
Bb* Eb
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay
Chorus:
Eb G# Eb Cm
Low lie the Fields of Athenry
Eb G# Bb
Where once we watched the small free birds fly

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry

It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
