[Start] [Intro] Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm ■ ■ ■ ■ [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 ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
