[Verse 1]
D#m
Marchin' down O'Connell street
D#m
With a Starry Plough on high
F# C#
Here comes the Citizen's Army
B C#
With their fists raised to the sky
D#m
And leadin' them was a mighty man
D#m
With a mad rage in his eye
F# C#
"My name is James Connolly
B C#
I didn't come here to die"
[Pre-Chorus]
B
But to fight for the rights of the workin' man
F# C#
The small farmer too
B
To protect the proletariat
F# C#
From the bosses and their screws
[Chorus]
D#m
So hold onto your rifles, boys
D#m B
Don't give up the dream

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

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

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