Chorus 1
No (D major) pipe did hum
No (A major) battle (B minor) drum did sound its loud tattoo
But the (B minor) Angelus Bells o'er the (A major) Liffey's swells
Rang (D major) out in the (A major) foggy (B minor) dew
(B minor) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor)
Verse 2
Right (B minor) proudly high over (A major) Dublin town
They (D major) flung out the (A major) flag of (B minor) war
'Twas better to die 'neath an (A major) Irish sky
Than at (D major) Sulva or (A major) Sud el (B minor) Bar
Chorus 2
And (D major) from the plains of the (A major) Royal (B minor) Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brit (B minor) tania‘s Huns
with their (A major) great big guns
Sailed (D major) in through the (A major) foggy (B minor) dew
(B minor) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor)
Verse 3
Oh the (B minor) night fell black and the (A major) rifles‘ crack
Made per (D major) fidious (A major) Albion (B minor) reel
In the (B minor) leaden raind seven (A major) tongues of flame
Did (D major) shine o‘er the (A major) lines of (B minor) steel
Chorus 3
By each (D major) shining blade a (A major) prayer was (B minor) said
That to Ireland her sons be true
But when (B minor) morning broke
Still the (A major) war flag shook
Out its (D major) folds in the (A major) foggy (B minor) dew
(B minor) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor)
Verse 4
Oh the (B minor) bravest fell and the (A major) requiem bell
Rang (D major) mournfu (A major) lly and (B minor) clear
For those who died that (A major) Eastertide
In the (D major) springtime (A major) of the (B minor) year
Chorus 4
While the (D major) world did gaze with (A major) deep a (B minor) maze
At those fearless men but few
Who (B minor) bore the fight that the (A major) freedom's light
Might (D major) shine through the (A major) foggy (B minor) dew
(B minor) (A major) (D major) (A major) (B minor)
Verse 5
Back (B minor) through the glen I (A major) rode again
My (D major) heart with (A major) grief was (B minor) sore
For I parted with those (A major) gallant men
Who (D major) I‘ll never (A major) see no (B minor) more
Chorus 5
But (D major) to and fro in my (A major) dreams I (B minor) go
And I kneel and pray for you
For (B minor) slavery fled
O (A major) glorious dead
When you (D major) fell in the (A major) foggy (B minor) dew
