Traditional Irish - The Foggy Dew
Intro - Bm
Bm Em A
Over the hills I went one day,
Bm Em Bm
A lovely maid I spied.
(Bm)
With her coal black hair
Em A
And her mantle so green,
Bm Em Bm
An image to perceive.
D G D A
Says I, "Dear girl, will you be my bride?"
Bm Em Bm
And she lifted her eyes of blue,
(Bm)
She smiled and said,
Em A
"Young man, I'm to wed,
Bm Em Bm
I'm to meet him in the foggy dew."
Bm Em A
Over the hill I went one morn,
Bm Em Bm
A singing I did go.
(Bm)
Met this lovely maid
Em A
With her coal black hair
Bm Em Bm
And she answered soft and low,
D G D A
Said she, "Young man, I'll be your bride,
Bm Em Bm
If I know that you'll be true."
(Bm)
Oh, in my arms,
Em A
All of her charms
Bm Em Bm
Were casted in the foggy dew.
