d(a) C(G) a(e)

As down the glen
one Easter morn

d(a)C(G) d(a)

To a
city fair rode I.

d(a) C(G) a(e)

There armed lines of marching men

d(a)
C(G) d(a)

In squadrons passed me by.

F(C) C(G) F(C)

No fife did hum nor
battle drum

d(a) B(F) d(a)C(G) 

Did
sound it4s dread (loud) tattoo,

d(a)a(e)
d(a) C(G) a(e)

But the Angelus bell o4er
the Liffey swell

d(a) C(G) d(a)

Rang
out through the foggy dew.



Right
proudly high over Dublin town

They hung out
the flag of war.

4Twas better to die 4neath
an Irish sky

Than at Suvla or Sud El
Bar.

And from the plains of Royal Meath

Strong men came hurrying trough,

While
Britannia4s huns with their long range guns

Sailed in from the foggy dew.



It
was England bade our Wild Geese go,

That
small nation might be free.

But their
lonely graves are by Suvla4s waves

Or the
shore of the great North Sea.

Oh had they
died by Pearse4s side

Or had fought with
Cathal Brugha.

Their names we would keep
where the Fenians sleep,

4Neath the shroud
of the foggy dew.



But the bravest
fell and the solemn bell

Rang mournfully
and clear

For those who died that
Eastertide

In the springtime of the
year.

And the world did gaze in deep
amaze

At those fearless men but few

Who bore the fight that freedom4s light

Might shine through the foggy dew.
