^GBy a lonely prison wal^Cl ^Gi heard a young girl call^Ding

^Gmichael they have t^Caken you aw^Day ^Gfor you stole trevalyans ^Ccorn

^Gso the young might see the m^Dorn ^Dnow the prison ship lies waiting in the b^Gay

chorus:

^Glow ^Clie ^Gthe fields of athenry ^Gwhere once we watched the small freebirds ^Dfly

^Gour love was on the wi^Dng we ^Ghad dreams and songs to si^Dng ^Dits so lonely round the fields of athe^Gnry
