Marchin' down O'Connell street
Gm
With a Starry Plough on high
A# F
Here comes the Citizen's Army
D# F
With their fists raised to the sky
Gm
And leadin' them was a mighty man
Gm
With a mad rage in his eye
A# F
"My name is James Connolly
D# F
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man
A# F
The small farmer too
D#
To protect the proletariat
A# F
From the bosses and their screws
[Chorus]
Gm
So hold onto your rifles, boys
Gm D#
Don't give up the dream
D# D#
A# F
D# Republic for the workin' class

Economic...

[Verse 2]
Gm
Then Jem cries out, "Oh, citizens
Gm
This system is a curse
A# F
An English boss is a monster
D# F
An Irish one is worse
Gm
They'll never lock us out again
And here's the reason why
A# F
My name is James Connolly
D# F
I didn't come here to die"

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

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