Liam Clancy - The Foggy Dew
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[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 sons, 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
