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

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

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