Irish Rovers - The Fields Of Athenry guitar tab

Any body who calls themselves irish should know this song it rocks its the most sang saong in the whole of ire land.

G C G-D

By a lonely prison wall i heard a young girl calling

G C D

Micheal they are takeing you away

G C G D

For you stole trevelyens corn so the young mite morn

D G

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

CHORUS

G C G Em G D

Low lie the fields of athenry where once we watched the small free birds fly

G C G D

Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing

D G

Its so lonely round the fields of athenry

By a lonely prison wall i heard a young maN calling

Nothing matters mary when your free

I rebelled againts the crown

I ran they ran me down

Now you must raise our child with dignity.

CHORUS

Thats it there is one more verse but i avnt remember all the words av fun.

******The tab as far as I can tell is here are all the verses:

By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling

"Michael, they have taken you away,

For you stole Trevelyan's corn,

So the young might see the morn.

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

Chorus:

Low lie the fields of Athenry

Where once we watched the small free birds fly

Our love was on the wing

We had dreams and songs to sing

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

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."

By a lonely harbor wall, she watched the last star fall

As the prison ship sailed out against the sky

For she lived to hope and pray for her love in Botany Bay

It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.
