_ _ _ _ A large crowd had gathered outside _ [G] of Kilmainham
With their heads [D] all uncovered [E] as they knelt on [A] the ground
[D] For inside that grim prison lay a brave, _
[G] ivory soldier
His life for [D] his country [A] about [D] to lay down
_ _ He went to his death like a _ [G] triceratops on a fire line
The [D] fiery party [E] he bravely [A] did face
[D] When the call rang out, freezing [G] arms and fire
James Conley [D] fell _ [A] into _ _ [D] readymade grave _
_ Now a black flag was hoisted, that grim [G] world he'd over
God _ [D] was a [E] man who loved Ireland [A] so well
[D] There were many a sad heart in Dublin _ [G] that morning
When they murdered [D] James Conley, [A] the _ [D] Irish rebel _ _ _ _
God's curse on you England, you cruel, [G] hearted monsters
Your deeds they [D] would shame, [E] all the [A] devils in hell _
[D] There were no flowers blooming, but the shamrock [G] is growing
On the grave [D] of James Conley, [A] the [D] Irish rebel
_ _ Now many years have rolled by since that Easter _ [G] rebellion
The guns [D] of Britannia, [E]
they rang out [A] in the air
[D] But the bold pirate, _ they marched shoulder [G] to shoulder
And the blood [D] from their bodies [A] flowed from [D] such mistakes
[Bb] _
Now [Eb] the four cores of Dublin, _ the English [Ab] _ bombarded
The spirit [Eb] of freedom, [F] they tried hard [Bb] to clothe
[Eb] But sure then, in one voice, that cried out, [Ab] no surrender
T'was the voice of [Eb] James Conley, [Bb] our _ Irish [Ab] rebel
