INTRO: [A#] [F] [C] [F]
VERSE 1:
As we
[F] gather in the chapel here, in
[A#] Old Kilmainham
[C] Jail
I
[A#] think about these
[F] past few days, oh
[Gm] will they say we've
[C] failed
From our
[F] schooldays they have told us, we must
[A#] yearn for liber-
[C]-ty
Yet
[A#] all I want in
[F] this dark place, is to
[C] have you here with
[F] me
CHORUS 1:
Oh
[C] Grace just hold me in your arms, and
[A#] let this moment
[F] linger
They
[A#] take me out at
[F] dawn, and I will
[C] die
With
[C] all my love I place this wedding
[A#] ring, upon your
[F] finger
There
[A#] won't be time to
[F] share our love, for
[C] we must say good-
[F]-bye
VERSE 3:
Now I
[F] know it's hard for you my love, to
[A#] ever under-
[C]-stand
[A#] the love I bear for
[F] these brave men,
[Gm] my love for this dear
[C] land
But when
[F] Padhraic called me to his side,
[A#] down in the G.P.-
[C]-O.
[A#] I had to leave my
[F] own sick bed,
[C] to him I had to
[F] go

SONG KEY CHANGE: [+2] [G]
VERSE 5:
Now
[G] as the dawn is breaking my
[C] heart is breaking
[D] too
On
[C] this May morn as
[G] I walk out
[Am] my thoughts will be of
[D] you
And I'll
[G] write some words upon the wall so
[C] everyone will
[D] know
[C] I love so much that
[G] I could see
[D] his blood upon the
[G] rose
CHORUS 2:
Oh
[D] Grace just hold me in your arms and
[C] let this moment
[G] linger
they
[C] take me out at
[G] dawn and I will
[D] die
With
[D] all my love I place this wedding
[C] ring upon your
[G] finger
There
[C] won't be time to
[G] share our love for
[D] we must say good-
[G]-bye
