DmAs down the glen one EasCter mornAm
Fto a city fair rGode I Dm
DmThere Armed lines of marCching meAmn
Fin squadrons pasGsed me bDmy
FNo fife did hum Gnor battDmle drum
Dmdid sound it's dAmread tatDmtoo
DmBut the Angelus bell o'eCr the LiAmffey swell
Frang out throughG the fogDmgy dew
DmRight proudly high over CDublin TAmown
Fthey hung out the flag oGf war Dm
Dm'Twas better to die 'neaCth an IrAmish sky
Fthan at Sulva orG Sud El DmBar
FAnd from the plaGins of RDmoyal Meath
Dmstrong men came AmhurryingDm through
DmWhile Britannia's Huns, Cwith theAmir long range guns
Fsailed in througGh the foDmggy dew
Dm'Twas Britannia bade ourC Wild GeAmese go
Fthat small nations mightG be freeDm
DmBut their lonely graves Care by SAmulva's waves
For the shore of Gthe GreaDmt North Sea
FOh, had they dieGd by PeaDmrse's side
Dmor fought with CAmathal BrDmugha
DmTheir names we will keepC where tAmhe fenians sleep
F'neath the shrouGd of theDm foggy dew
DmBut the bravest fell, anCd the reAmquiem bell
Frang mournfully and cleaGr Dm
DmFor those who died that CEastertiAmde
Fin the springingG of the Dmyear
FAnd the world diGd gaze, Dmin deep amaze,
Dmat those fearlesAms men, bDmut few
DmWho bore the fight that Cfreedom'Ams light
Fmight shine throGugh the Dmfoggy dew
DmOh, back through the gleCn I rodeAm again
FAnd my heart with grief Gwas soreDm
DmFor I parted then with vCaliant mAmen
FWhom I never shaGll see mDmore
FBut to and fro iGn my dreDmams I go
DmAnd I'd kneel anAmd pray fDmor you,
DmFor slavery fled, O glorCious deaAmd,
FWhen you fell inG the fogDmgy dew.
