_ _ _ _ _ Archin' down O'Connell Street With a starry plow [Eb] on high
[Bb] There goes the Citizen [F] Army _ _ [Eb] Their fists [F] raise the sky
_ _ [Gm] _ Leading them is a mighty man With a mad rage in [Eb] his eye
[Bb] My name is [F] James _ Conley [Eb] I didn't come [F] here to die
[Eb] But to fight for the rights of the working [Bb] man
This poor [F] farmer too _ [Bb] To [Eb] protect the _ proletariat
_ _ [Bb] From the bosses and [F] their screws [C] So [Gm]
hold on to your rifles boys
Don't give [Eb] up the _ dream _ _ _ [Bb] Of a republic [C] for the working class

_ _ _ _ _ Now we're in the GPO With the bullets [Eb] whizzing by
