The Foggy Dew
Traditional
As Am down the glen one G Easter morn
to a Am city G fair rode Am I
There Am Ar-med lines of G marching men
in Am squadrons passed G me Am by
No C pipe did hum, nor G battle drum
did Am sound it's dread tattoo
But the Am Angelus bell o'er the G Liffey swell
rang Am out through the G foggy Am dew.
Right Am proudly high over G Dublin Town
they Am hung out the G flag of Am war
'Twas Am better to die 'neath an G Irish sky
than at Am Suvla or Sud G El Am Bar..
And C from the plains of G Royal Meath
strong Am men came hurrying through,
While Bri Am tannia's Huns, with their G long range guns
sailed Am in through the G foggy Am dew
'Twas Bri Am tannia bade our G Wild Geese go
that small Am nations G might be Am free
But their Am lonely graves are by G Suvla's waves
or the Am fringe of the great G North Am Sea.
Oh, C had they died by G Pearse's side
or Am fought with Cathal Brugha
Their Am names we will keep where the G fenians sleep
'neath the Am shroud of the G foggy Am dew
But the Am bravest fell, and the G requiem bell
ra-ng Am mou--rnfu--l G ly and Am clear
For Am those who died that G Eastertide
in their Am springtime of G the Am year.
While the C world did gaze with G deep amaze,
at those Am fearless men, but few
Who Am bore the fight that G freedom's light
might Am shine through the G foggy Am dew
Oh, Am back through the glen I G rode again
And my Am heart with G grief was Am sore
For I Am parted then with G valiant men
Whom I Am never shall G see Am more
But C to and fro in my G dreams I go
And I'd Am kneel and pray for you,
For Am slavery fled, O G glorious dead,
When you Am fell in the G foggy Am dew.
