D G D A G D Em A D
[Verse]
D G A
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
G D Em A
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
D G A
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
G D Em D
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
[Chorus]
A G D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
G D A
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G D
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
G D A D
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
[Verse]
D G A
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
G D Em A
The love I bare for these brave men, my love for this dear land
D G A
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
G D A D
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
[Instrumental Break]
A G D Em A D
[Chorus]
A G D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
G D A
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G D
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
G D A D
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
[Verse]
D G A
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
G D Em A
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
D G A
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
G D Em D
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
[Chorus]
A G D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
G D A
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G D
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
G D A D
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
