Grace [G] - Frank & Sean O’Meara
G C D
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
C G Am D
I think about the last few weeks, oh will they say we failed
G C D
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
C G D G
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.
|[Chorus]
| D C G
|Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
| C G D
|They take me out at dawn and I will die
| C G
|With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
| C G D G
|There won't be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
[Verse]
G C D
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
C G Am D
The love I bear for these brave men, my love for this brave land
G C D
But when Padraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
C G D G
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go.
|[Chorus]
| D C G
|Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
| C G D
|They take me out at dawn and I will die
| C G
|With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger

|There won't be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
[Verse]
G C D
Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking too
C G Am D
As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you
G C D
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
C G D G
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
|[Chorus]
| D C G
|Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
| C G D
|They take me out at dawn and I will die
| C G
|With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
| C G D G
|There won't be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
