Key: :[C#] (w: Frank O'Meara, Sean O'Meara, 1985)
INTRO: [F#] [C#] [G#] [C#]
VERSE 1:
As we
[C#] gather in the chapel here, in
[F#] Old Kilmainham
[G#] Jail
I
[F#] think about these
[C#] past few days, oh
[D#m] will they say we've
[G#] failed
From our
[C#] schooldays they have told us, we must
[F#] yearn for liber-
[G#]-ty
Yet
[F#] all I want in
[C#] this dark place, is to
[G#] have you here with
[C#] me
CHORUS 1:
Oh
[G#] Grace just hold me in your arms, and
[F#] let this moment
[C#] linger
They
[F#] take me out at
[C#] dawn, and I will
[G#] die
With
[G#] all my love I place this wedding
[F#] ring, upon your
[C#] finger
There
[F#] won't be time to
[C#] share our love, for
[G#] we must say good-
[C#]-bye
VERSE 3:
Now I
[C#] know it's hard for you my love, to
[F#] ever under-
[G#]-stand
[F#] the love I bear for
[C#] these brave men,
[D#m] my love for this dear
[G#] land
But when
[C#] Padhraic called me to his side,
[F#] down in the G.P.-
[G#]-O.
[F#] I had to leave my
[C#] own sick bed,
[G#] to him I had to
[C#] go
REPEAT CHORUS 1:
INSTRUMENTAL: [F#] [C#] [G#] [C#] [A#]
SONG KEY CHANGE: [+2] [D#]
VERSE 5:
Now
[D#] as the dawn is breaking my
[G#] heart is breaking
[A#] too
On
[G#] this May morn as
[D#] I walk out
[Fm] my thoughts will be of
[A#] you
And I'll
[D#] write some words upon the wall so
[G#] everyone will
[A#] know
[G#] I love so much that
[D#] I could see
[A#] his blood upon the
[D#] rose
CHORUS 2:
Oh
[A#] Grace just hold me in your arms and
[G#] let this moment
[D#] linger
they
[G#] take me out at
[D#] dawn and I will
[A#] die
With
[A#] all my love I place this wedding
[G#] ring upon your
[D#] finger
There
[G#] won't be time to
[D#] share our love for
[A#] we must say good-
[D#]-bye
OUTRO:
There
[G#] won't be time to
