FIELDS OF ATHENRY PETE ST.JOHN D By lonely prison wall G D A I heard a young girl calling D G A Michael they have taken you away D G for you stole Trevelyn's corn D A so the young might see the morn A7 D now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay Chorus: D G D Bm Low lie the fields of Athenry D G A where once we watched the small free birds fly D G our love was on the wing D A we had dreams and songs to sing A7 D it's so lonely round the fields of Athenry 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 Chorus: X2 ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
