.         Am                          G                          C  Am
1. As down the glen one Easter morn', to a city fair rode I,
.                                        G                         C           Am
there armoured lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by.
.      C                         G        C                         Am
No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound it's loud tattoo,
.                                               G          
but the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell,
.        C                     Am                  - Am – G – C - Am
rang out through the foggy dew.
 
.               Am                   G                        C                Am
2. Right proudly high in Dublin town they hung out the flag of war,
.                                            G                        C           Am
'twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud el Bar.
.        C                           G        C                                  Am
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through,
.                                                     G
while Brittania's Huns, with their great big guns,
.         C                     Am                  - Am – G – C - Am
sailed in through the foggy dew.
 
.              Am                          G                         
3. 'Twas England bade our Wild Geese go, 
.           C                Am
that small nations might be free,
.                                                G                       
but their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves
.            C                   Am
on the fringes of the great North Sea.
.      C                           G          C
Oh had they died by Pearse's side 
.                  Am
or had they fought with Cathal Brugha.
.                                                      G
Their names we keep, where the Fenians sleep,
.                     C              Am                  - Am – G – C - Am
'neath the shroud of the foggy dew.
 
.                 Am                           G                            C      Am
4. But the bravest fell and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear, 
.                                      G                            C          Am
for those who died that Easter tide, in the springtime of the year.
.                  C                           G         C                                    
While the world did gaze with deep amaze, 
.                           Am
at those fearless men but few, 
.                                         G
who bore that fight, that freedom's light
.             C                       Am                  - Am – G – C - Am
might shine through the foggy dew.
 
.           Am                                 G
5. And back through the glen I rode again 
.                C           Am
and my heart with grief was sore,
.                                           G                         C      Am
for I parted then with most valiant men that I na'er shall see more.
.       C                            G           C               Am
But two and fro in my dreams I'll go and I'll kneel and pray for you,
.                                 G
for slavery fled our glorious dead,
.                C             Am                  - Am – G – C - Am
when you fell in the foggy dew.
