C                              F              G
As we gathered in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
  F                      C             Dm               G
I think about these past few weeks, Oh will they say we failed
         C                                     F             G
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
    F             C                     G                  C
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.

[Chorus]
   G                                   F               C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        F              C               G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
      G                                   F             C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
      F               C                 G               C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

[Verse]
      C                                  F         G
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
     F                 C                   Dm                 G
The love I'll bare for these great men, my love for this dear land
         C                                  F         G
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
    F             C                G             C
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

[Chorus]
   G                                   F               C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        F              C               G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
      G                                   F             C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
      F               C                 G               C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

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

[Chorus]
   G                                   F               C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        F              C               G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
      G                                   F             C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
      F               C                 G               C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
          F               C                 G               C
Now There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
