Fields of Athenry

Traditional

KEY: Any diatonic harmonica

3 3 3 3 4 -4 5

By a lonely prison wall

5 -5 -5 -5 6 5 -5 5 4 -4

I heard a young girl ca-a-a-a-lling

6 6 6 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4

Michael they are taking you away

5 -5 6 6 6 5 -5

For you stole Trevelyn's corn

6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4

So the young might se-e the morn

3 3 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4

Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay

6 -6 5 4 3 4 -4 5

Low lie the Fields of Athenry

-4 4 3 4 -4 5 -5 6 -4

Where once we watched the small free birds fly

6 6 6 6 -5 5 -5 6 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4

Our love was o-n the wing, we had dreams and so-ngs to sing

3 3 -4 -4 5 -5 5 -4 4 -3 4

It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry
