Intro: C   F  C     

verse 1: 
             G           C          G 
When I was a bachelor, I lived all alone 
  C             F        C 
I worked at the weaver's trade 
            G         C         G 
And all the harm that ever I've done 
       C          F       C 
It was courting a serving maid 


verse 2: 
                  F        C 
I courted her one winter's morn 
                  G 
A summer's day or two 
      C           G          C       G 
And I often times wished her into my arms 
C          F     C    G    C     G 
Out of the foggy dew, dew, dew 
    C          F     C  
And out of the foggy dew 


verse 3: 
              G       C     G 
One night she came to my bedside 
C        F     C 
As I lay fast asleep 
             G     C      G 
She laid her head upon my bed 
    C        F       C 
And bitterly she did weep 


verse 4: 
                         F        C 
She wept, she cried, she tore her hair 
                          G 
Saying, "Oh, what shall I do? 
         C           G         C          G 
For this night I'm resolved to sleep with you 
    C           F     C    G    C     G 
For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew 
    C           F     C  
For fear of the foggy dew" 


VERSE 5: 
           G         C      G 
So all the fore part of the night 
C          F         C 
How we did sport and play 
        G           C      G 
All the latter part of the night 
    C           F        C 
She close in my arms did lay 


VERSE 6: 
                      F     C 
And when the daylight did appear 
                  G 
She said, "I am undone" 
     C        G    C       G 
Said I, "Fair mad, be not afraid 
        C     F      C     G     C     G 
For the foggy dew is done, done, done 
        C     F      C        F  C 
Oh, the foggy dew is done 


VERSE 7: 
              G          C           G 
One night she started to moan and to cry 
     C        F        C 
Said I, "What troubles you?" 
               G          C         G 
She said, "I'd never have been this way 
      C           F        C 
If it hadn't have been for you" 


VERSE 8: 
                      F        C 
I got me boots and me trousers on 
                      G 
I called my neighbour too 
        C          G               C         G 
Ah, but do what we could, we could do her no good 
        C           F     C    G    C     G 
And she died in the foggy dew, dew, dew 
        C           F     C   
Oh, she died in the foggy dew 


VERSE 9: 
               G           C            G 
So, now I am a bachelor, I live with my son 
   C           F        C 
We work at the weaver's trade 
           G           C          G 
And when I look in his face I can see 
    C            F          C 
The eyes of that fair young maid 


verse 10: 
                     F      C 
He reminds me of the winter time 
                  G 
And of the summer too 
        C          G         C         G 
And the many, many times she lay in my arms 
    C           F     C    G    C     G 
For fear of the foggy dew, dew, dew 
        C           F     C 
All for fear of the foggy dew
