    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''
  

  {start_of_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

      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''
    

    
      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
