I was wondering if everyone might be willing to share the chords they use to play The Fields of Athenry?

All the best,

G C G D
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young girl calling
G C D
Michael they have taken you away
G C G D
For you stole trivaliants corn so the young might see the morn
Am D G
Now a prison ship lies waitning in the bay


G C G Em
Low lye the fileds of Athenrye
G D
Where once we watched the small free-birds fly
G C
Our love was on the wing
G D
We had dreams and songs to sing
Am D G
its so lonely round the fields of Athenrye

I like the sound of this...

Fields of Athenry
Christy Moore
By the l[G]onely prison wall. I
h[C]eard a young girl c[G]all[D7]ing.
M[G]ichael, they are t[C]aking you a[D7]way, for you
[G]stole Trevelyn's c[C]orn. So the y[G]oung might see the [D7]morn.
[D7]Now a prisonship lies waiting in the [G]bay.

Chorus:
[G]Low l[C]ie, the F[G]ields of A[Em]thenry, where
[G]once we watched the small free birds [D7]fly. Our
[G]love was on the w[C]ing, we had d[G]reams and songs to s[D7]ing.
It's so [D7]lonely 'round the fields of Athen[G]ry.

By a lonely prison wallI heard a young man calling.Nothing matters Mary when you're free,
Against the Famine and the CrownI rebelled, they ran me down.Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Chorus!
By a lonely harbour wallShe watched the last star falling.And that prison ship sailed out against the sky.Sure she'll wait and hope and pray,for her love in Botany Bay.It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry
