G C D As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail C G Am D I think about the last few weeks Oh will they say we failed G C D From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty C G D G Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me. [Chorus] D C G Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger C G D They take me out at dawn and I will die C G With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger C G D G There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye. G C D Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand C G Am D The love I bear for these brave men my love for this brave land G C D But when Padraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O. C G D G I had to leave my own sick bed to him I had to go. [Chorus] D C G Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger C G D They take me out at dawn and I will die C G With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger C G D G There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye. G C D Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking to C G Am D As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you G C D And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know C G D G I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose [Chorus] D C G Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger C G D They take me out at dawn and I will die C G With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger C G D G There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
