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:
FBy a lonely prison walFl
Fi heard a young girl callGing
Fmichael they have tFaken you awGay
Ffor you stole trevalyans Fcorn
Fso the young might see the mGorn
Gnow the prison ship lies waiting in the bFay
chorus:
Flow Flie Fthe fields of athenry
Fwhere once we watched the small freebirds Gfly
Four love was on the wiGng we Fhad dreams and songs to siGng
Gits so lonely round the fields of atheFnry
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
