INTRO: [B] [F#] [C#] [F#]

VERSE 1:
As we [F#] gather in the chapel here, in [B] Old Kilmainham [C#] Jail
I [B] think about these [F#] past few days, oh [G#m] will they say we've [C#] failed
From our [F#] schooldays they have told us, we must [B] yearn for liber-[C#]-ty
Yet [B] 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 [B] let this moment [F#] linger
They [B] take me out at [F#] dawn, and I will [C#] die
With [C#] all my love I place this wedding [B] ring, upon your [F#] finger
There [B] 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 [B] ever under-[C#]-stand
[B] the love I bear for [F#] these brave men, [G#m] my love for this dear [C#] land
But when [F#] Padhraic called me to his side, [B] down in the G.P.-[C#]-O.
[B] I had to leave my [F#] own sick bed, [C#] to him I had to [F#] go

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 [A#m] 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
