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

From the bosses and their screws

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

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