[Verse 1]
[Em]T 'w[C]as[Em][C][Em][C][Am][C][Bm]
[Em]down the glen one [D]Easter [Bm]morn'
To a [Em]city [Am]far o'day
[Em]When armèd lines of ma[D]rc[Bm]hing men
In [Em]squad[Am]rons passed me [Em]by
No [G]pipe did hum, no [D]battle drum,
[Bm]Didn't sound[G] as dr[Bm]eaded too.[Em]
But the angel,
the spell of a [D]leafy [Bm]swell,
Rang [Em]out i[Am]n the foggy de[Em]w.[C][Am]
[G]It [Bm]was Engla[Em]nd,
bed our [D]wild geese [Bm]go,
That small [Em]nation[Am] s might be fre[Em]e.
And we see lonely graves
are by [D]Suvla's waves
[Bm]On the shore[Em]s of t[Am]he great North Sea[Em]
Oh, but [G]had they died by [D]Pearse's side
[Bm]Or fough[G]t with Calv [Bm]'ry[Em]
The graves we would keep
where the [D]Finians [Bm]sleep
Need [Em]the shroud [Am]of the foggy d[Em]ew[G][D][Bm]
[Em][G][C][B][Em][D][Bm][Em][Am][Em]
Ride proudly, high [Am]our Dub[D]lin [Bm]town,
Did they [Em]hang [Am]out the flag of [Em]war?
For was bad to die neath an [D]Irish [Bm]sky
Than at [Em]Suvla [Am]or Sudalbar[Em]
And [G]from the plains of [D]Royal Meath
[Bm]Strong men c[G]ame hurr[Bm]y and thro[Em]w
And Britannia's hounds
with their [D]long -range [Bm]guns
Sailed [Em]in th[Am]rough the foggy de[Em]w
[G][D][Bm][G][Am][Em]
Well, the bravest fell,
and the [D]requiem [Bm]fell,
Rang [Em]mourn[Am]fully and [Em]clear,
For those that died that [Dsus4]Easter ti[D]de,[Bm]
In the [Em]spring[Am] ing of the yea[Em]r.
And the world [G]did gaze with [D]deep amaze
[Bm]at those fearl[G]ess men [Bm]and few[Em]
Who bore the fight that [D]freedom's light
[Bm]would shin[Em]e thro[Am]ugh the foggy
[Em]dew[G][D][Bm][C][G][Em]
Who bought the fight that
[D]freedom's light
[Bm]Would [Em]shine through the fogg[Am]y door[Em]?
[C][Em][C][Em][C][Am][G][Em]
