Fields of Athenry Folk Songs
By l[D]onely prison wall
I h[G]eard a young girl c[D]all[A]ing
M[D]ichael they have t[G]aken you aw[A]ay
for you st[D]ole Trevelyn's c[G]orn
so the y[D]oung might see the m[A]orn
now a prison ship lies wa[A7]iting in the [D]bay
Chorus:
L[D]ow l[G]ie the f[D]ields of Athenr[Bm]y
where [D]once we watched the sm[G]all free birds fl[A]y
our l[D]ove was on the w[G]ing
we had dr[D]eams and songs to s[A]ing
it's so lonely round the f[A7]ields of Athenr[D]y
By lonely prison wall
I heard a young man calling
nothing matters Mary when you're free
against the Famine and the Crown
I rebelled they ran me down
now you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus:
By lonely harbor wall
she watched the last star falling
as that prison ship sailed out against the sky
sure she'll wait and hope and pray
for her love in Botany Bay
it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry

That G in the second line of the Chorus doesn't belong there. Other than that, looks great!
