INTRO: [D#] [A#] [F] [A#]

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

CHORUS 1:
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

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

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

CHORUS 2:
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
