      Dm                C                     Dm     Gm        Dm
1. As down the glen one East-er morn     To a ci-ty  fair rode I
         Dm             C                    Dm         Gm        Dm
   Their armed lines of march-ing men    In  squad-rons passed me by
      F                Gm       F           Dm         C       Dm
   No pipes did hum no bat-tle  drum    Did sound it's loud ta-too
           Dm                      C
   But the An-gel-us bell o'er the Lif-fey’s swell
        Dm         Gm     Dm
   Rang out in the Fog-gy Dew

         Dm                  C                     Dm            Gm      Dm
2. Right proud-ly high o-ver Dub-lin  Town    They flung out the flag of war
        Dm                       C                      Dm        Gm     Dm
  'Twas bet-ter to die 'neath an I-rish sky   _ Than at Suv-la or Sud-El-Bar
       F                  Gm      F               Dm       C          Dm
   And from the plains of Ro-yal  Meath    Strong men came hur-ry-ing through
         Dm                            C
   While Bri-tan-nia's Huns with their long range guns
          Dm             Gm      Dm
   Sailed in through the Fog-gy  Dew

       Dm          C        Dm      Gm       Dm
  |          |           |       -      |          |

        Dm                C                           Dm       Gm       Dm
3.'Twas Eng-land bade our Wild Geese go    That small nat-ions might be free
             Dm                    C
   But their lone-ly graves are by Suv-la's waves
          Dm            Gm          Dm
   On the fringe of the Great North Sea
      F                Gm        F          Dm          C      Dm
   Oh had they died by Pear-se's side    Or fought with Cathal Brugha
         Dm                         C
   Their names we’ll keep where the Fen-ians sleep
              Dm            Gm     Dm
   'Neath the shroud of the Fog-gy Dew

          Dm                    C                      Dm        Gm     Dm
4. Oh the bra-vest fell and the req-ui-em bell    Rang mourn-ful-ly and clear
       Dm                  C                      Dm          Gm     Dm
   For those who died that Eas-ter tide    In the spring time of the year
             F                   Gm     F                Dm        C       Dm
   While the world did gaze with deep a-maze    At those fear-less men but few
       Dm                      C
   Who bore the fight that the free-dom's light
         Dm                Gm     Dm   
   Might shine through the Fog-gy Dew 

       Dm          C        Dm      Gm       Dm
  |          |           |       -      |          |

        Dm                 C                 Dm         Gm        Dm
5. Back through the glen I rode a-gain    My heart with grief was sore
         Dm                 C                     Dm          Gm     Dm
   For I part-ed with those val-i-ant men    That I'll ne-ver see no more
       F                 Gm      F             Dm        C        Dm
   But to and fro in my dreams I go    And I'd kneel and pray for you
       Dm               C                          Dm          Gm     Dm
   For slav-er-y fled O glor-ious dead    When you fell in the Fog-gy Dew
