Introducción:

G                                 G7+Em  
By a lonely prison wall,
G                                                    C                    D  
"Michael, they have taken you away,
G                                                                 C  
For you stole Trevelyn's corn,
G                                                                      D  
So the young might see the morn,
D                                                                                                 G      C      G  
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."
G      C                 G                 G7+Em  
Low lie the fields of Athenrye,
G                                                                                                              D  
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
G                                                 C  
Our love was on the wing,
                  G                                                 D  
We had dreams and songs to sing,
D                                                                    C                    G  
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenrye.
verse 2
G                                 G7+Em  
By a lonely prison wall,
G                                                    C                                    D  
"Nothing matters, Mary, when you're free,
G                                                                    C  
Against the famine and the crown,
G                                                                 D  
I rebelled, they cut me down,
D                                                         C                         G  
Now you must raise our child with dignity."
G      C                 G                 G7+Em  
Low lie the fields of Athenrye,
G                                                                                                              D  
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
G                                                 C  
Our love was on the wing,
                  G                                                 D  
We had dreams and songs to sing,
D                                                                    C                    G  
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenrye.
verse 3
G                                 G7+Em  
By a lonely harbour wall,
C                                                                 G                    D  
She watched the last star falling.
G                                                                    C                                    D  
As the prison ship sailed out against the sky.
G                                                                 C  
For she lives in hope and prays,
G                                                         D  
For her love in Botany Bay,
D                                                                    C                      D  
It's so lonely, 'round the fields of Athenrye.
G      C                 G                 G7+Em  
Low lie the fields of Athenrye,
G                                                                                                              D  
Where once we watched the small free birds fly.
G                                                 C  
Our love was on the wing,
                  G                                                 D  
We had dreams and songs to sing,
D                                                                    C                    G  
It's so lonely 'round the fields of Athenrye.
