C#m
Marchin' down O'Connell street
C#m
With a Starry Plough on high
E B
Here comes the Citizen's Army
A B
With their fists raised to the sky
C#m
And leadin' them was a mighty man
C#m
With a mad rage in his eye
E B
"My name is James Connolly
A B
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man
E B
The small farmer too
A
To protect the proletariat
E B
From the bosses and their screws
[Chorus]
C#m
So hold onto your rifles, boys
C#m A
Don't give up the dream
A A
E B
A Republic for the workin' class
A
Economic...
A E
liberty!
[Verse 2]
C#m
Then Jem cries out, "Oh, citizens
C#m
This system is a curse
E B
An English boss is a monster
A B
An Irish one is worse
C#m
They'll never lock us out again
And here's the reason why
E B
My name is James Connolly
A B
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man

[Verse 3]
C#m
Now over in the GPO
C#m
With the bullets whizzin' by
E B
There's Pearse and Sean McDermott
A B
They're tellin' each other goodbye
C#m
Up steps our citizen leaders
As he roars out to the sky:
E B
My name is James Connolly
A B
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man
E B

C#m
We fought them to a standstill
C#m
While the flames lit up the sky
E B
Till a bullet pierced our leader
A B
And we gave up on the fight
C#m
They shot him in Kilmainham Gaol
C#m
But they'll never stop his cry
E B
My name is James Connolly
A B
I didn't come here to die"
