The Foggy Dew Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
As [Am]down the glen one Easter morn
to a city [Dm]fair rode [Am]I
There [Am]armed lines of marching men
in squadrons [Dm]passed me [Am]by
No [C]pipe did hum nor [Dm]battle [C]drum
did [Am]sound its loud tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er the [G]Liffey swells
rang [Am]out in the [Dm]foggy [Am]dew
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
Right [Am]proudly high in [Dm]Dublin [C]town
hung they out a [F]flag of [Am]war[Dm][Am]
'Twas better to die 'neath that [Dm]Irish [C]sky
Than at Suvla or [F]Sedd el [Am]Bahr[Dm][Am]
[G]And [C]from the plains of [G]Royal [C]Meath
strong men came [F]hurrying [Am]through[Dm][Am]
While Britannia's huns
with their [Dm]long range [Em]guns
sailed [C]in through the [F]foggy [Am]dew[Dm][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dm][C]
[C][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
The [Am]bravest fell and the [Dm]requiem [Em]bell
rang [C]mournful[F]ly and [Am]clear[Dm][Am]
For those who died that [Dm]Easter [C]tide
in the springing [F]of the [Am]year[Dm][Am]
[G]While the [C]world did gaze with [G]deep a[C]maze
at those [Am]fearless [F]men, but [Am]few[Dm][Am]
Who bore the fight that [Dm]freedom's [Em]light
might [C]shine through the [F]foggy
[Am]dew[Dm][Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Dm][C]
[C][F][Am]
[Am][Dm][C]
[C][F][Am][G]
[C][G][C]
[Am][G][Am]
[Am][Dm][Em]
[C][F][Am]

[Verse 4]
And [Am]back through the glen I [Dm]rode a[C]gain
and my [Am]heart with [Dm]grief was [Am]sore
For I [Dm]parted then with valiant [C]men
whom I [Am]never [Dm]shall see [Am]more
But [C]to and fro in my [Dm]dreams I [C]go
And I [Am]kneel and [F]pray for you
For [Am]slavery fled, O glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew
