Verse 1: (light pm, listen for rythym)
Eb* G#* Eb* Bb*
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
Eb* G#* Bb*
Michael they have taken you away
Eb* G#* Eb* Bb*
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]Low [G#]lie the [Eb]Fields of Athen[Cm]ry
Where [Eb]once we watched the [G#]small free birds [Bb]fly
Our [Eb]love was on the [G#]wing we had [Eb]dreams and songs to [Bb]sing
It's so [Bb]lonely 'round the Fields of Athen[Eb]ry
Bagpipe Fill:

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

Now you must raise our child with dignity

Outro Verse:
By a [Eb]lonely harbor wall, she [G#]watched the last star [Eb]fall[Bb]ing
As that [Eb]prison ship sailed [G#]out against the [Bb]sky
Sure she'll [Eb]wait and hope and [G#]pray, for her [Eb]love in Botany [Bb]Bay
It's so [Bb]lonely 'round the Fields of Athen[Eb]ry
