i havent seen any tabs for this before but this is how i learned to play by watching
people in pubs, so may not be entirely accurate.
verse 1:
GBy a lonely prison walCl
Gi heard a young girl callDing
Gmichael they have tCaken you awDay
Gfor you stole trevalyans Ccorn
Gso the young might see the mDorn
Dnow the prison ship lies waiting in the bGay
chorus:
Glow Clie Gthe fields of athenry
Gwhere once we watched the small freebirds Dfly
Gour love was on the wiDng we Ghad dreams and songs to siDng
Dits so lonely round the fields of atheGnry
verse 2:
By a 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 cut me down
now you must raise our child with dignity
Chorus
chorus instrumental
verse 3:
by a lonely harbour wall
she watched the last star falling
as the prison ship sailed out against the sky
she lived in hope and prayer
for her love in botany bay
its so lonely round the fields of athenry
