Twas down the glen one Easter morn, to a city [G] fair old I.
Those armour [Gm] lines of margin men in squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum [C#m] did sound its [D] dread tattoo.
But [C#m] the angel's bell, called a luffy swell, rang [G#] out all the foggy dew.

[G] Proudly I [F#m]
averred Dublin town, [B] they hung [A] out the [B] flag of war.
But [G] better die, [A] need than [F#m] Irish guy, [B] to soothe [A] our [B] soothed elver.
[D] And from the [A] wings of [F#] Wyoming, [B] trumpet [A] came [B] ringing through.
Well [G] Britannia's sons [A] with their long [F#m]-range guns, [B] sailed out [A] all the [B] foggy dew.

Twas [G] England made [A] our [F#] wildest life, [B] that small [A] nations might [Bm] be brave.
The [B] [G] lonely graves [F#m] of my super slaves, [Bm] had fringe [E] of the [D] great [B] North Sea.
[D] Oh, as they [A] died my fears [F#m] subside, [B] hard fog [A] with a [B] cold brew.
I turned an [G] angel's keep, [A] where I'd be [F#] in sleep, [B] and ate the shroud [A] of the [B]
