G5                            C5              D5
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
  C5                    G5            A5               D5
I think about the last few weeks Oh will they say we failed
         G5                                     C5             D5
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
    C5             G5                     D5                  G5
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.

[Chorus]
   D5                                   C5               G5
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
     C5              G5               D5
They take me out at dawn and I will die
                                      C5              G5
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C5               G5                 D5               G5
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

      G5                                 C5         D5
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
    C5               G5                  A5                  D5
The love I bear for these brave men my love for this brave land
         G5                                  C5         D5
But when Padraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
  C5               G5               D5            G5
I had to leave my own sick bed to him I had to go.

     

[Chorus] 
    
  D5                                   C5               G5
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
     C5              G5               D5
They take me out at dawn and I will die
                                      C5              G5
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C5               G5                 D5              G5
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

    G5                          C5                 D5
Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking to
   C5             G5                A5                  D5
As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you
         G5                                 C5             D5
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
  C5                    G5             D5              G5
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose

 [Chorus]
   D5                                   C5               G5
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
     C5              G5               D5
They take me out at dawn and I will die
                                      C5              G5
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C5               G5                 D5              G5
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
