Verse 1
Am 
Dm 
G 
C 
It  was down the glen one Easter morn,
Am 
to a city fair rode I
F 
Dm 
G 
C 
There Ireland's lines of marching men,
Am 
in squadron passed me by
C 
G 
C 
No pipes did hum or no battle drum
G 
F 
did sound its dread tattoo
Dm 
G 
But, the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell,
C 
Am 
rang out in the Foggy Dew

Verse 2
Am 
Dm 
G 
C 
Right proudly high over Dublin town,
Am 
they hung out the flag of war
Dm 
For, 'twas better to die 'neath an
G 
C 
Am 
Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar
C 
G 
C 
And from the plains of Royal Meath,
F 
Am 
strong men came hurrying through
F 
Dm 
G 
C 
While Brittania's sons with their long range guns,
Am 
sailed in  by the Foggy Dew

Verse 3

'Twas England bade our wild geese

go that small nations might be free

But, their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves

on the fringe of the grey North Sea

Oh, had they died by Pearse's side,

or fought with Valera true

Their graves we'd keep where the Fenians sleep,

'neath the hills of the Foggy Dew

Interlude 1

Verse 4
Am 
Dm 
G 
The bravest fell and the sullen
C 
Am 
bell rang mournfully and clear
Dm 
G 
C 
For those who died that Easter tide
Am 
in the springing of the year
C 
G 
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
C 
G 
F 
at those fearless men and true
Dm 
F 
Dm 
G 
C 
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Am 
might shine through the Foggy Dew
