INTRO: [D] [A] [E] [A]

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

CHORUS 1:
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
With [E] 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 [E] we must say good-[A]-bye

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

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

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