The Foggy Dew
Traditional
Am G
As down the glen one Easter morn
Am G Am
to a city fair rode I
Am G
There Ar-med lines of marching men
Am G Am
in squadrons passed me by
C G
No pipe did hum, nor battle drum
Am
did sound it's dread tattoo
Am G
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell
Am G Am
rang out through the foggy dew.
Am G
Right proudly high over Dublin Town
Am G Am
they hung out the flag of war
Am G
'Twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Am G Am
than at Suvla or Sud El Bar..
C G
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Am
strong men came hurrying through,
Am G
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns
Am G Am
sailed in through the foggy dew
Am G
'Twas Britannia bade our Wild Geese go
Am G Am
that small nations might be free
Am G
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves
Am G Am
or the fringe of the great North Sea.
C G
Oh, had they died by Pearse's side
Am
or fought with Cathal Brugha
Am G
Their names we will keep where the fenians sleep
Am G Am
'neath the shroud of the foggy dew
Am G
But the bravest fell, and the requiem bell
Am G Am
ra-ng mou--rnfu--l-ly and clear
Am G
For those who died that Eastertide
Am G Am
in the springtime of the year.
C G
While the world did gaze with deep amaze,
Am
at those fearless men, but few
Am G
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Am G Am
might shine through the foggy dew
Am G
Oh, back through the glen I rode again
Am G Am
And my heart with grief was sore
Am G
For I parted then with valiant men
Am G Am
Whom I never shall see no more
C G
But to and fro in my dreams I go
Am
And I'd kneel and pray for you,
Am G
For slavery fled, O glorious dead,
Am G Am
When you fell in the foggy dew.
