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
[Dm] 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,
[Dm] 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

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
[Em] 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
