[Verse 1]
Dm
Marchin' down O'Connell street
Dm
With a Starry Plough on high
F C
Here comes the Citizen's Army
A# C
With their fists raised to the sky
Dm
And leadin' them was a mighty man
Dm
With a mad rage in his eye
F C
"My name is James Connolly
A# C
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man
F C
The small farmer too
A#
To protect the proletariat
F C
From the bosses and their screws
[Chorus]
Dm
So hold onto your rifles, boys
Dm A#
Don't give up the dream
A# A#
F C
A# Republic for the workin' class
A#
Economic...
A# F
liberty!
[Verse 2]
Dm
Then Jem cries out, "Oh, citizens
Dm
This system is a curse
F C
An English boss is a monster
A# C
An Irish one is worse
Dm
They'll never lock us out again
And here's the reason why
F C
My name is James Connolly
A# C
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
A#
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man

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

[Verse 4] (accordion drops out)
Dm
We fought them to a standstill
Dm
While the flames lit up the sky
F C
Till a bullet pierced our leader
A# C
And we gave up on the fight
Dm
They shot him in Kilmainham Gaol
Dm
But they'll never stop his cry
F C
My name is James Connolly
A# C
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus] (accordion returns)
