We've included some of the chords for the Irish song in our lyrics so you can pull out your guitar and jam along with us. (You in your living room and us in ours, nothing personal but we just don't know you that well yet)

lyrics

Fields of Athenry

G C G D
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young girl cal-ling
G C D
Micheal they have taken you away
G C G D
For you stole trevelins corn so the young might see the morn
D G
A prison ship lies waiting in the bay

Chorus

G C G Em
Low Lie The fields of athenrye
G D
where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
our love was the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
D Dsus G
and so lonely round the fields of athenry

Verse 2

G C G D
By the lonely prison wall, i heard a young man cal-ling
G C D
Nothing matters mary when your free
G C G D
against the famine and the crown, i fought they cut me down
D G
now you must raise our child with dignity

Chorus, Verse 3

G C G D
By the lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fa-ll
G C D
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
G C G D
for she lived to hope and pray for her love in botany bay
G
and it's so lonely round the fields of athenry

Chorus x 2
