[B]
[Bm] On
[B]
Easter morn to a city fair rode I, there in squadrons passed me by.
[Bm] [B] [Bm] No pipe did hum, [B] [Em] no battle [Bm] drum did [B] sound.
Eee, tattooed, but the Alice bells, all [A#] [A]
iffy square, rang [B] out the foggy dew.
[Bm] Rye proud [Em] in Dublin [Bm] town hung they at [G] [Bm]
[Em] [Bm] Twas Bear's, [G] [Bm]
[Em] [Bm] an Irish sky, then at Sub [C#] Louse, a Del [Bm] Bar.
[D] And from the plains [G] of [D] Royal Meath strong men [Bm] came, [E] [Bm] while [D]
[G] Britannia's hounds with their [F#m] long-range guns [Bm] sailed in [Em] through the [Bm] foggy dew.
The [Em] [A] [D]
[G] [B] [Bm]
[Em] [F#m] Requiem Bell [Bm] rang mournfully and clear, for those who died [E] that [A] Easter tide [Bm] in the [Em] springing of [B] the year.
[G] While [D] her world did gaze with [A] [D] deep [Bm] amaze at those fearless, but few who bore [F#m] that freedom's [A] light [Bm] might shine [Em] through the [Bm] foggy dew.

[D] [Bm]
[F#m] [Bm]
[Em] [A] [D]
[Em] [Bm]
Now the [D#] [B]
glad [Bm] [B] iron rode [Bm] [B] again, and [Bm] my heart with grief was sore,
for [Em] I parted then with [Bm] valiant men, [G] [B] whom [Bm] I [E] shall see [Bm] no more.
But to and fro in [Em] my dreams [Bm] I go, and I kneel [G] [Bm] [B] for you, for [Bm] sleepless a [Em] glorious [A] day,
[B] when you fell the foggy dew.
