Verse 1
D
I've been out and gathered
G
Outside of Kilmainham
D
With their heads all uncovered,
A
they kneel on the ground.
D
Far inside that grim prison,
G
D
lay a young Irish soldier.
G
D
G
D
A
His life for his country about to lay down
D
He went to his death
like a true son of Ireland
G
D
A
The firing party, a privileged face
D
Then the order rang out,
grease and darts, fire
G
D
G
And James Connolly
D
A
fell into a ready menace
D
The black fly lay hoisted,
G
D
the cruel deed was over
G
D
Gone was the man who
A
loved Ireland so well
D
There was many a sad heart
in Dublin that morning
When they murdered James Connolly,
A
D
the Irish Reverend
God's poor son, you England,
A
G
you cruel hearted monster
D
G
D
Your deeds, they were shame
A
on the devils in hell.
D
There are no flowers bloomin',
but the shamrock is blowin'
On the grave of James Connolly,
A
the Irish Rebel.
D
Many years have rolled by
G
since the Irish Rebellion,
D
When the guns of Britannia,
A
D
A
they loudly did speak
D
The bold IRA,
they stood shoulder to shoulder
And the blood from their bodies
A
D
rolled down Sackville's street.
The four hordes of Dublin,
the English bombarded.
The spirit of freedom
A
they tried hard to quell
D
But above all the death rose
D
the cry no surrender
was the voice of James Connolly,
A
the Irishman.
D
