INTRO: [G#] [D#] [A#] [D#]

VERSE 1:
As we [D#] gather in the chapel here, in [G#] Old Kilmainham [A#] Jail
I [G#] think about these [D#] past few days, oh [Fm] will they say we've [A#] failed
From our [D#] schooldays they have told us, we must [G#] yearn for liber-[A#]-ty
Yet [G#] all I want in [D#] this dark place, is to [A#] have you here with [D#] me

CHORUS 1:
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

VERSE 3:
Now I [D#] know it's hard for you my love, to [G#] ever under-[A#]-stand
[G#] the love I bear for [D#] these brave men, [Fm] my love for this dear [A#] land
But when [D#] Padhraic called me to his side, [G#] down in the G.P.-[A#]-O.
[G#] I had to leave my [D#] own sick bed, [A#] to him I had to [D#] go

VERSE 5:
Now [F] as the dawn is breaking my [A#] heart is breaking [C] too
On [A#] this May morn as [F] I walk out [Gm] my thoughts will be of [C] you
And I'll [F] write some words upon the wall so [A#] everyone will [C] know
[A#] I love so much that [F] I could see [C] his blood upon the [F] rose

CHORUS 2:
Oh [C] Grace just hold me in your arms and [A#] let this moment [F] linger
they [A#] take me out at [F] dawn and I will [C] die
With [C] all my love I place this wedding [A#] ring upon your [F] finger
There [A#] won't be time to [F] share our love for [C] we must say good-[F]-bye
