Verse 1
Am 
G 
As down the glen one Easter morn,
Am 
G 
Am 
To  a city fair old I,
G 
There armoured lines of marching men,
Am 
And squadrons passed me by.
C 
G 
Am 
No pipes did hum our battle drum,
F 
did sound its dread tattoo.
G 
Am 
But the Angela's bell,
G 
o 'er the lippy swell,
Am 
rang out in the foggy dew.
G 
Bright proudly high over Dublin town,
Am 
they hung out the flag of war.
G 
Twas better to die neath an irie sky
Am 
G 
Am 
Than at Suvla or Suvla bar
C 
G 
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Am 
F 
Strong men came hurrying through
Am 
Where Britannia's sons
G 
with their long -range guns
Am 
Sailed in  by the foggy dew.
G 
But the bravest fell and the solemn bell
Am 
G 
Am 
Rang mournfully and  clear
G 
For those who died that Easter tide
Am 
In the springtime of the year.
C 
G 
Am 
Humble were the gays in deep amaze
F 
At those stout -hearted men but few
Am 
Who bore the fight that
G 
freedom's light
Am 
C 
Might shine through the foggy dew
G 
Am 
F 
Am 
G 
Am 
F 
Am 
G 
Twas England, that our wild geese go,
Am 
G 
Am 
That small nations might keep free.
G 
But their lonely graves are by soulless ways
Am 
G 
Am 
On the fringe of the grey North Sea.
C 
G 
Am 
Oh, have they died by Pierce's side,
F 
our fought with Calabroo?
Am 
Their names we would keep
G 
where the pinyon street,
Am 
meet the shroud of the foggy dew.
G 
Back to the glen I rode again,
Am 
G 
Am 
my heart with grief was sore.
G 
For I parted with those valiant men
Am 
G 
Am 
I never would see no more.
C 
G 
Am 
And to one fro in my dreams I'll go,
and I'll kneel and pray for you.
F 
Am 
For slavery fled,
G 
O rebel dead,
Am 
When you fell in the foggy dune.
