[Dm]
[G] [Am]
[C] [G] [Dm]
[D] [C] [Dm]
As down the [G] [C] Glenwane Easter morn to [Dm] a city fair rode I,
There are mead lines [C] of marching men [Dm] in squadrons past me by.
No [F] fief did hum nor battle drum did sound [Am] its [Dm] dread [Bb] tattoo,
But [Dm] the angelus bells [C] or the lithy swell rang [Dm] out through the foggy dew.
Right proudly high [C] over Dublin town they [Dm] hung out the flag of war.
Twas better to die [Am] neath an Irish [C] sky [Dm] than at Sulver -Sudan Bar.
And [F] from the plains [Am] of [F]
royal mead strong men [Bb] came hurrying through,
[Dm] While Britannia's Huns [C] with their long-range guns [Dm] sailed in through the foggy dew.
Twas Britannia bad [C] our wild geese foe [G] that [Dm] small nations might be free,
But their [D] lonely graves are [C] by Sulva's waves [Dm] o'er the shore of the great North Sea.
[F] O had they died [C] by [F]
Pearce's side or fought with [Bb]
Calbrough,
[Dm] Their names we would keep [C] where the Fenians sleep neath the shroud [Dm] of the foggy dew.
But the bravest fell [C] and the Requiem bell rang [Dm] mournfully unclear,
For those who died [C] that [Dm] Easter tide in the [C] springing [Dm] of the year.
[F] And the world it gazed in deep amaze at those fearless men but [Bb] you,
[Dm] To board a flight [C] that freedom's light [Dm] might shine through the foggy dew.
