but the Angelus bell o'er the Liffey swell,
.        C                     Am                  - Am – G – C - Am

'twas better to die 'neath an Irish sky than at Sulva or Sud el Bar.

.                                                     G

.            C                   Am
on the fringes of the great North Sea.
