\begin{verse}
By a \[D]lonely prison wall
I \[G]heard a young girl \[D]cal\[A]ling:
``\[D]Michael, they've \[G]taken you a\[A]way
For you \[D]stole Trevelyan's \[G]corn
So the \[D]young might see the \[A]morn'
Now the prison ship lies waiting in the \[D]bay''
\end{verse}
\begin{chorus}
\[D]Low \[G]lie the \[D]fields of Athen\[Bm]ry
Where \[D]once we watched the small free birds \[A]fly
Our \[D]love was on the \[G]wing
We had \[D]dreams and songs to \[A]sing
It's so lonely round the fields of Athen\[D]ry
\end{chorus}
\begin{repeatedchords}
\begin{verse}
By a \[D]lonely prison wall
I \[G]heard a young man \[D]cal\[A]ling:
``\[D]Nothing matters \[G]Mary when you're \[A]free
Against the \[D]famine and the \[G]crown
I \[D]rebelled they ran me \[A]down
You must now raise our child with digni\[D]ty''
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
By a \[D]lonely prison wall
She \[G]watched the last star \[D]fal\[A]ling
As the \[D]prison ship sailed \[G]out against the \[A]sky
But she'll \[D]hope and wait and \[G]pray
For her \[D]love in Botany \[A]Bay
It's lonely 'round the fields of Athen\[D]ry
\end{verse}
\end{repeatedchords}
