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