The Foggy Dew

[INTRO:] Am    C  G  C  Am

[VERSE 1:]
   F                 G            
As down the glen one Easter morn 
    C    Am
to a city fair rode I
     F                  G         
When Ireland's lines of marching 
      C         Am
men in squadrons passed me by
   C         Em         G      C
No pipes did hum and no battle 
        Am                  F
drum did sound it's dread tattoo
        Am      F           
But the Angelus bell o'er the 
  G                   C          
Liffey's swell rang out in the Foggy
Am
 Dew


[Verse 2:]
      F                 G         
Right proudly high over Dublin 
        C            Am
Town, they hung out the flag of war

          F                       
For 'twas better to die 'neath an 
G                 C        Am
Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El 
Bar
    C        Em        G     C  
And from the plains of Royal 
          Am                F
Meath strong men came hurrying 
through
         Am       F                
While Britannia's sons, with their 
G                       C        
long range guns, sailed in from 
   Am
the Foggy Dew


[Verse 3:]
      F                G          
'Twas England bade our Wild Geese 
               C       Am
go, that small nations might be free
          F                   
But their lonely graves are by 
 G                    C           
Suvla's waves or the fringe of the
  Am
 grey North Sea
    C        Em      G        C 
But had they died by Pearse's 
      Am                 F
side or fought with Valera true
      Am          F              
Their graves we'd keep where our 
G                         C      
Fenians sleep, 'neath the hills 
      Am
of the Foggy Dew


[Verse 4:]
         F                    G   
Now, the bravest fell and the 
             C       Am
sullen bell rang mournfully and 
clear
    F                   G         
For those who died that Eastertide
        C         Am
 in the springing of the year
        C         Em      G     
And the world did gaze in deep 
C             Am               F
amaze at those fearless men and true
    Am       F          G        
Who bore the fight that freedom's
             C                 Am
 light might shine through the Foggy
 Dew
