[Verse 1]
C F
In Dublin City in nineteen thirteen
G C
The boss was rich and the poor were slaves
C F
The women working and children starving
G C
Then on came Larkin like a mighty wave
C F
The workers cringed when the boss man thundered
G
Seventy hours was his weekly chore
C F
He asked for little and less was granted
G C
Lest given little then he'd ask for more
[Verse 2]
C F
In the month of August the boss man told us
G C
No union man for him could work
C F
We stood by Larkin and told the boss man
G C
We'd fight or die, but we wouldn't shirk
C F
Eight months we fought and eight months we starved
G
We stood by Larkin through thick and thin
C F
But foodless homes and the crying of children
G C
It broke our hearts, we just couldn't win
[Verse 3]
C F
Then Larkin left us, we seemed defeated
G C
The night was black for the working man
C F
But on came Connolly with new hope and counsel
G C
His motto was that we'd rise again
C F
In nineteen sixteen in Dublin City
G
The English soldiers they burnt our town
C F
The shelled our buildings and shot our leaders
G C
The Harp was buried 'neath the bloody crown
[Verse 4]
C F
They shot McDermott and Pearse and Plunkett
G C
They shot McDonagh and Clarke the brave
C F
From bleak Kilmainham they took Ceannt's body
G C
To Arbour Hill and a quicklime grave
C F
But last of all of the seven heroes
G
I sing the praise of James Connolly
C F
The voice of justice, the voice of freedom
G C
He gave his life, that man might be free
