[Stropbe1:]
By a lonel[Eb5]y prison wall,
[Ab5]I heard a young girl [Eb5]calli[B5]ng
M[Eb5]ichael, they have t[Ab5]aken you aw[B5]ay,
For you [Eb5]stole Trevelyan´s [Ab5]corn,
So the [Eb5]young might see the [B5]morn.
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the [Eb5]bay.
[Refrain:]
[Eb5]Low [Ab5]lie the f[Eb5]ields of A[C5]thenry.
[Eb5]Where once we watched the s[C5]mall free birds [B5]fly.
Our l[Eb5]ove was on the w[Ab5]ing,
[Eb5]we had dreams and songs to s[B5]ing
It´s so lonely round the fields of A[Eb5]thenry
[Strobe 2:]
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young man calling
Nothing matters, Mary, when you´re free!
Against the famine and the crown,
I rebelled, thy cut me down.
Now you must raise our child with dignity.
[Refrain:]
[Strobe 3:]
By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star falling.
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky
Sure she´ll wait and hope , for her love in Botany Bay
It´s so lonely round the fields of Athenry
[Refrain:]
