INTRO: [C] [G] [D] [G]

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

CHORUS 1:
Oh [D] Grace just hold me in your arms, and [C] let this moment [G] linger
They [C] take me out at [G] dawn, and I will [D] die
With [D] all my love I place this wedding [C] ring, upon your [G] finger
There [C] won't be time to [G] share our love, for [D] we must say good-[G]-bye

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

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

CHORUS 2:
Oh [E] Grace just hold me in your arms and [D] let this moment [A] linger
they [D] take me out at [A] dawn and I will [E] die
