The foggy dew 4/4 Dubliners
. Am G C Am 1. As down the glen one Easter morn', to a city fair rode I, . G C Am there armoured lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by. . C G C Am No pipe did hum, no battle drum did sound it's loud tattoo, . G but the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell, . C Am - Am – G – C - Am rang out through the foggy dew. . Am G C Am 2. Right proudly high in Dublin town they hung out the flag of war, . G C Am 'twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud el Bar. . C G C Am And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through, . G while Brittania's Huns, with their great big guns, . C Am - Am – G – C - Am sailed in through the foggy dew. . Am G 3. 'Twas England bade our Wild Geese go, . C Am that small nations might be free, . G but their lonely graves are by Sulva's waves . C Am on the fringes of the great North Sea. . C G C Oh had they died by Pearse's side . Am or had they fought with Cathal Brugha. . G Their names we keep, where the Fenians sleep, . C Am - Am – G – C - Am 'neath the shroud of the foggy dew. . Am G C Am 4. But the bravest fell and the Requiem bell rang mournfully and clear, . G C Am for those who died that Easter tide, in the springtime of the year. . C G C While the world did gaze with deep amaze, . Am at those fearless men but few, . G who bore that fight, that freedom's light . C Am - Am – G – C - Am might shine through the foggy dew. . Am G 5. And back through the glen I rode again . C Am and my heart with grief was sore, . G C Am for I parted then with most valiant men that I na'er shall see more. . C G C Am But two and fro in my dreams I'll go and I'll kneel and pray for you, . G for slavery fled our glorious dead, . C Am - Am – G – C - Am when you fell in the foggy dew.
