[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
B B7 B                                 
■ ■  ■ As down the glen one Easter morn
B                    
To a city fair rode I
B7                   B              
■  There armed lines of marching men
B                        
In squadrons passed me by
   Bm7      B7 
No pipe did hum
Em        Bm7                B          
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo


[Chorus]
                               A             A7
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells ■ 
B7                       
Rang out in the foggy dew


[Verse]
                      Bm         
Right proudly high in Dublin town
     Bm                    
Hung they out a flag of war
Bm7   Bm        G          Em   D        
'twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
        Bm7      Em7      Bm7
Than at Sulva or SudElBar ■  
D                      Em7   G     D
And from the plains of Royal Meath ■
                G        Bm      Bm7
Strong men came hurrying through ■  
      Bm                                     A   
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
Bm                             
Sailed in through the foggy dew
Em A D Bm
■  ■ ■ ■ 
                           A       F#m7
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
Bm7  Em7            Bm7   Bm
Rang mournfully and clear ■ 
Bm7                A                     
For those who died that Eastertide in the
Bm                   
Springing of the year


[Chorus]
          D                   A    D    
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
         Bm                  
At those fearless men but few
                        Bm7            
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Bm                               
Might shine through the foggy dew


[Solo]
Bm7 Bm Bm7 D G Em Bm Bm7

[Verse]
    B                     Bm   Em   Bm   
And back through the glen ■  I rode again
B7              B          Bm      
■  And my heart with grief was sore
      Em                          
For I parted then with valiant men
D    Bm7 Bm   Bm7   Bm    Bsus4 Bm    
Whom ■   ■  I never shall see   n'more
Bm7                  Em       Bm7
But to and fro in my dreams I go 
      Bm                    
And I kneel and pray for you


[Chorus]
    N.C.                        
For slavery fled O glorious dead


[Outro]
N.C.                          
When you fell in the foggy dew
