[Intro]
Am G Em F Em Am (2X)
[Verse 1]
As dAmown the glen one GEaster Emmorn to a Fcity Emfair rode AmI
There Amarmed lines of Gmarching Emmen in Fsquadrons Empassed me Amby
No Cfife did hum, no Gbattle Emdrum did Amsound its lonely Ftattoo
But the AmAngelus bell o'er the GLiffey's Emswell rang Fout on the EmFoggy AmDew
[Verse 2]
Oh it Amproudly high over GDublin Emsky they Fhung out the Emflag of Amwar
It was Ambetter to die beneath the GIrish Emsky than at FSuvla or EmSud El AmBar
And Cfrom the plains of GRoyal EmMeath strong Ammen came marching Fthrough
Oh and AmBrittania's sons, and their Glong range Emguns, sailed Finto the EmFoggy AmDew
[Verse 3]
Well, the Amnight it grew black, and the Grifle Emcrack made FPerfidious EmAlbion Amreel
Through the Amleaden rain, seven Gtongues of Emflame rang Fout over Emlines on Amsteel
And to Cevery blade a Gprayer it was Emsaid that to AmIreland I amend it be Ftrue
And when the Ammorning broke out the Gwar flag Emshook out it's Ffolds in the EmFoggy AmDew
[Verse 4]
Well it was AmEngland that bade our GWild Geese Emgo, that Fsmall nations Emmight be Amfree
But their Amlonely graves are by GSuvla's Emwaves or on the Ffringes on the EmGreat North AmSea
For had Cthey died by GPearse's Emside or Amfought with Cathal FBrugha
Their Amnames we would keep where the Gmen all Emsleep, under the Fshroud of the EmFoggy AmDew
[Verse 5]
But the Ambravest fell, and the Grequiem Embell rang FmournEmfully and Amclear
For Amthose who died that GEasterEmtide in the Fspringtime Emof the Amyear
And the Cworld it did gaze in Gdeep Emamaze at those Amgallant men but Ftrue
Who Ambore the fight that Gfreedom's Emlight might Fshine through the EmFoggy AmDew
[Verse 6]
Well Amback o'er the glen I Grode Emagain, and my Fheart with Emgrief it was Amsore
For I Amparted then with Gvaliant Emmen who I Fnever shall Emsee no Ammore
And Cto and fro in my Gsleep I Emgo, and I'll Amkneel and I pray for Fyou
Oh Amslavery fled, O Ggallant Emdead when you Ffell on the EmFoggy D5Dew
Oh slaF11very fled, our Gglorious Emdead when you Fdied in the EmFoggy AmDew
