I have taken a little time to do a version of this there are several posted but none are complete. By far the simplest way to play this is is to tune down a semi tone to Eb you can of course leave your guitar in standard tuning and transpose down (-1 on the auto transpose on the left of your screen) Comments and suggestions welcome please rate                  INTRO: VERSE 1: By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling Micheal they have taken you away For you stole Trevelyn’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’d watch 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     VERSE 2: 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 CHORUS: Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we’d watch 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 CHORUS: (without vocals)     VERSE 3: By a lonely harbour wall she watched the last star falling as the prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she’ll wait and hope and pray for her love at Botany Bay it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry                                       it’s so lonely round the fields of Athenry CHORUS: Low lie the fields of Athenry where once we’d watch 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 Ending:

Cette chanson évoque une histoire d'amour tragique et la souffrance d'un couple séparé par l'injustice et l'oppression. Une jeune fille pleure son bien-aimé, emprisonné pour avoir nourri les siens dans un contexte de famine et de rébellion contre l'autorité. Les vers décrivent la nostalgie d'un temps où ils rêvaient de liberté et d'un avenir radieux, alors qu'à présent, la solitude pèse lourdement sur leurs âmes. Le cadre de cette ballade est celui de l'Irlande du XIXe siècle, marqué par la Grande Famine et des tensions politiques. Les champs de Athenry symbolisent non seulement un lieu géographique, mais aussi une mémoire collective de lutte et de résistance face aux épreuves. C'est un appel à la persévérance et à l'espoir, même dans les moments les plus sombres.
