The Foggy Dew Acordes

	  



Intro: Am    C  G  C  Am 

verse 1: 
   F                 G                C    Am 
As down the glen one Easter morn to a city fair rode I 
     F                  G               C         Am 
When Ireland's lines of marching men in squadrons passed me by 
   C         Em         G      C        Am                  F 
No pipes did hum and no battle drum did sound it's dread tattoo 
        Am      F             G                   C          Am 
But the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey's swell rang out in the Foggy Dew 


verse 2: 
      F                 G                 C            Am 
Right proudly high over Dublin Town, they hung out the flag of war 
          F                       G                 C        Am 
For 'twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Suvla or Sud El Bar 
    C        Em        G     C            Am                F 
And from the plains of Royal Meath strong men came hurrying through 
         Am       F                G                       C           Am 
While Britannia's Huns, with their long range guns, sailed in from the Foggy Dew 


verse 3: 
      F                G                         C       Am 
'Twas England bade our Wild Geese go, that small nations might be free 
          F                    G                    C             Am 
But their lonely graves are by Suvla's waves or the fringe of the grey North Sea 
    C        Em      G        C       Am                 F 
But had they died by Pearse's side or fought with Valera true 
      Am          F              G                         C            Am 
Their graves we'd keep where our Fenians sleep, 'neath the hills of the Foggy Dew 


verse 4: 
         F                    G                C       Am 
Now, the bravest fell and the sullen bell rang mournfully and clear 
    F                   G                 C         Am 
For those who died that Eastertide in the springing of the year 
        C         Em      G     C             Am               F 
And the world did gaze in deep amaze at those fearless men and true 
    Am       F          G                     C                 Am 
Who bore the fight that freedom's light might shine through the Foggy Dew
