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
