  \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{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}
