Well, let's try:

  FIELDS OF ATHENRY

G C G D7
By a lonely prison wall, I heard a young girl calling
G C D7
"Michael, they have taken you away,
G C
For you stole Trevelyan's corn,
G D7
So the young might see the morn.
D7 G
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay."

G
Low lie the fields of Athenry
G D7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly
G C
Our love was on the wing
G D7
We had dreams and songs to sing
D7 G
It's so lonely round the fields of Athenry.

This is a simple arrangement in G. Obviously, the song can be transposed into a range comfortable for your voice.
