Grace

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

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

[Verse]
      C                            
Now I know it's hard for you my 
      F         G
love to ever understand

     F                 C          
The love I'll bare for these great
         Dm                 G
 men, my love for this dear land
         C                       
But when Pádraic called me to his 
           F         G
side down in the GPO
    F             C                
I had to leave my own sick bed, to 
G             C
him I had to go

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

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

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