[Chorus]
G Em
Rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name
C D
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame
G Em
He joined the transport union , so workers could be free
C D
He fought for Irish freedom, for the likes of you and me
[Verse 1]
G Em
James Connolly came from Scotland , a rebel to the core
C D
He wanted not just freedom , but socialism and more
G Em
He said when we gain our freedom , from England's cruel hands
C D
We'll have to fight the bankers , we'll have to make a stand
[Chorus]
G Em
Rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name
C D
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame
G Em
He joined the transport union , so workers could be free
C D
He fought for Irish freedom, for the likes of you and me
[Verse 2]
G Em
He held his life for liberty in the GPO
C D
He held his life for freedom , and he would not let it go
G Em
Well the Brits, they bombarded them and they smashed them brick by brick
C D
He held his life for freedom, and the socialist republic
[Chorus]
G Em
Rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name
C D
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame
G Em
He joined the transport union , so workers could be free
C D
He fought for Irish freedom, for the likes of you and me
[Verse 3]
G Em
Connolly is a hero , and they shot him in a chair
C D
They took him from the hospital, and those who were there
G Em
Well they set his lips on fire, on that Easter morn
C D
As the bullet pierced his heart, an Irish martyr was born
G Em
What will his legacy be, now in this land of mine
C D
Where nothing has a reason, and little has a rhyme
G Em
We fought the yeos in Wexford , we drove out the Black and Tans
C D
Now we fight the bankers, and their greasy hands
[Chorus]
G Em
Rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name
C D
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame
G Em
He joined the transport union , so workers could be free
C D
He fought for Irish freedom, for the likes of you and me
