As down the glen one Easter morn
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
To a city fair rode I
Am chordAm G chordG
There armed lines of marching men
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
In squadrons passed me by
C chordC
No pipes did hum
G chordG Am chordAm Em chordEm Am chordAm
No battle drum did sound its loud tattoo
Am chordAm G chordG
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
C chordC F chordF Am chordAm
Rang out in the foggy dew


Am chordAm G chordG
Right proudly high in Dublin town
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Hung they out a flag of war
Am chordAm G chordG
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Em chordEm Am chordAm
Strong men came hurrying through
Am chordAm G chordG
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
C chordC F chordF Am chordAm
Sailed in through the foggy dew


Am chordAm G chordG
Their bravest fell and the requiem bell
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Rang mournfully and clear
Am chordAm G chordG
For those who died that Eastertide in the
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Springing of the year
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
Em chordEm Am chordAm
At those fearless men but few
Am chordAm G chordG
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Might shine through the foggy dew


Am chordAm G chordG
And back through the glen, I rode again
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
And my heart with grief was sore
Am chordAm G chordG
For I parted then with valiant men
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
Whom I never shall see more
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
But to and fro in my dreams I go
Em chordEm Am chordAm
And I kneel and pray for you
Am chordAm G chordG
For slavery fled, O glorious dead
C chordC G chordG Am chordAm
When you fell in the foggy dew

Hi,
I've noticed a small mistake in the first 2 verses: on 'foggy' there should be a G (as later) instead of an F.
