D G In Dublin City in Nineteen Thirteen
A D The boss was rich And The Poor Were Slaves
D G The Women Working And The Children Hungry
A D Then On Came Larkin Like A Mighty Wave
A Em The Workman Cringed As The Bossman Thundered
D A Seventy Hours Was His Weekly Chore
D G He Asked For Little And Less Was Granted
A D Lest Getting Little He'd Ask For More [Verse]
D G But On Came Larkin In Nineteen Thirteen
A D A Mighty Man With A Mighty Tongue
D G The Voice Of Labour The Voice Of Justice
A D And He Was Gifted And He Was Young
A Em God Sent Larkin In Nineteen Thirteen
D A A Labour Man With A Union Tongue
D G He Raised The Worker And Gave Him Courage
A D He Was Their Hero A Workers Son [Verse]
D G In The Month Of August The Bossman Told Us
A D No Union Man For Him Could Work
D G We Stood By Larkin And Told The Bossman
A D We'd Fight Or Die But We Would Not Shirk
A Em Eight Months We Fought And Eight Months We Starved
D A We Stood By Larkin Through Thick And Thin
D G But Foodless Homes And The Crying Children
A D They Broke Our Hearts And We Could Not Win [Verse]
D G Then Larkin Left Us We Seemed Defeated
A D The Night Was Black For The Working Man
D G But On Came Connelly With New Hope And Council
A D His Motto Was That We'd Rise Again
A Em In Nineteen Sixteen In Dublin City
D A The English Soldiers They Burned Our Town
D G They Shelled Our Buildings And Shot Our Leaders
A D The Harp Was Buried Beneath The Crown [Verse]
D G They Shot McDermott And Pearse And Plunkett
A D They Shot McDonagh And Clarke The Brave
D G From Bleak Kilmainham They Took Their Bodies
A D To Arbour Hill To A Quicklime Grave
A Em But Last Of All Of The Seven Leaders
D A I'll Sing The Praise Of James Connolly
D G The Voice Of Labour The Voice Of Justice
A D Who Gave His Life That Men Might Be Free
