Marchin' down O'Connell street
Bm
With a Starry Plough on high
D A
Here comes the Citizen's Army
G A
With their fists raised to the sky
Bm
And leadin' them was a mighty man
Bm
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]
Bm
So hold onto your rifles, boys
Bm G
Don't give up the dream

G Republic for the workin' class

Then Jem cries out, "Oh, citizens
Bm
This system is a curse
D A
An English boss is a monster
G A
An Irish one is worse
Bm
They'll never lock us out again
And here's the reason why

My name is James Connolly
G A
I didn't come here to die"

[Verse 3]
Bm
Now over in the GPO
Bm
With the bullets whizzin' by
D A
There's Pearse and Sean McDermott
G A
They're tellin' each other goodbye
Bm
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]

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