^{Key: :[G#] (w: Frank O'Meara, Sean O'Meara, 1985)}

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 [A#m] 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, [A#m] 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

REPEAT CHORUS 1:

INSTRUMENTAL: [C#] [G#] [D#] [G#] [F]

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+2] [A#]

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

CHORUS 2:
Oh [F] 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 [F] die
With [F] all my love I place this wedding [D#] ring upon your [A#] finger
There [D#] won't be time to [A#] share our love for [F] we must say good-[A#]-bye

OUTRO:
There [D#] won't be time to [A#] share our love for [F] we must say good-[D#]-bye [A#]
