Grace*[C] - The Dubliners
[intro]
[C]
As we [C] gathered in the chapel here in [F] old Kilmainham [G] jail
I [F] think about these [C] past few weeks, [Dm] Oh will they say we [G] failed
From our [C] school days they have told us we must [F] yearn for liber[G]ty
Yet [F] all I want in [C] this dark place is to [G] have you here [C] with me.
Oh [G] Grace just hold me in your arms and [F] let this moment [C] linger
They'll [F] take me out at [C] dawn and I will [G] die
With [G] all my love I'll place this wedding [F] ring upon your [C] finger
There [F] won’t be time to [C] share our Love so [G] we must say good [C] bye.
Now I [C] know it's hard for you my love to [F] ever under-[G]-stand
The [F] love I'll bare for [C] these brave men, [Dm] my love for this dear [G] land
But when [C] Pádraic called me to his side down [F] in the GP- [G ]-O
I [F] had to leave my [C] own sick bed, to [G] him I had to [C] go
Chorus
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 with [G] you
And I'll [C] write some words upon the wall so ev-[F]-ery one will [G] know
I [F]loved so much that [C] I could see his [G] blood upon the [C] rose.
Oh [G] Grace just hold me in your arms and [F] let this moment [C] linger
They'll [F] take me out at [C] dawn and I will [G] die
With [G] all my love I'll place this wedding [F] ring upon your [C] finger
There [F] won’t be time to [C] share our Love so [G] we must say good [C] bye.
