[Verse]
                            Dm7                  D7    
As down the glen one Easter morn' to a city fair rode I
                                     Dm7                   
There armed lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by
D7 F                                                      Bb
No pipes did hum no battle drum did sound its loud tattoo ■ 
        Dm      Dm7       D7                 Dm7                   D7  Dm7
But the Angelus Bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out in the foggy dew ■  


[Chorus]
Dm                         C                Dm                      
■  Right proudly high over Dublin Town they hung out the flag of war
                              C     Am7         Dm       Gm       Dm
'twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or SudElBar ■ 
F                      C           Dm              Am       Bb      Bbmaj7
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through ■     
      Dm                          C        Am7 
While Britannia's Huns with their greatbig guns
Bbmaj7    Bb          C     Dm 
Sailed in through the foggy dew
C Am7 Bbmaj7 Dm

[Verse]
                                C       Am7                   Dm         
Oh the night fell black and the rifles' crack made perfidious Albion reel
       Dm         
In the leaden rain
C                Am7       Dm                           
Seven tongues of flame did shine o'er the lines of steel
        F               C          Am           Dm          Am      Bbmaj7
By each shining blade a prayer was said that to Ireland her sons be true  


[Chorus]
         Dm           
When the morning broke
          C                      Bbmaj7 Bb     C     Dm  Dm7
Still the war flag shook out its folds  in the foggy dew ■  


[Verse]
Dm                        C          Am7     Dm            Gm       Dm  
■  'twas England bade our wild geese go that small nations might be free
                               C       Am   
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
       Dm            Gm          Dm 
Or the fringe of the great North Sea


[Chorus]
F                   C        Am      Dm          Am     Bbmaj7
Oh had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Cathal Brugha
Dm                                 C       Am7  
Their names we will keep where the Fenians sleep
           Bb            C     Dm 
'neath the shroud of the foggy dew
C Bbmaj7 C Dm

[Verse]
       Dm                                                         
Oh the bravest fell and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear
              Dm7       Dsus4      Dm7                   Dm      
For those who died that Eastertide in the spring time of the year


[Chorus]
          F                        Fmaj7
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
         F        Fmaj7   Bb  Bbmaj7
At those fearless men but few ■     
Dm                      Dm7            
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Dm                               
Might shine through the foggy dew
Dm7 Dm                         C             Dm                       
■   ■  Back through the glen I rode again my heart with grief was sore
                        C       Asus4 Dm           Gm        Dm  
For I parted with those gallant men   whom I never shall see more
F                    C                 Dm        Am7      Bbmaj7
But to and fro in my dreams I go and I kneel and pray for you   
    Dm             C        Am7           Bb          C     Dm 
For slavery fled O glorious dead when you fell in the foggy dew


[Outro]
C Am7 Bbmaj7 Bb C Dm
