[Verse 1]

N.C.  G             G               C              D
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham gaol
  C                 G              D                    D
I think about these past few weeks, will they say we've failed?
         G                    G                C            D
From our schooldays they have told us we must yearn for liberty
    C             G              Em      D                  G
Yet all I want in this dark place, is to have you here with me


[Chorus]

    D                  D                 C               G
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        C              G        C Em   D   D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
      D            D                    C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C                G           Em     D              
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

[Verse 2]

N.C.  G                                   C         D
Now I know it's hard for you, my love, to ever understand
    C               G               D
The love I bare for these brave men, the love for my dear land
         G                  G               C        D
But when Padraic called me to his side, down in the GPO
  C               G        Em      D            G
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go


[Chorus]

    D                  D                 C               G
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        C              G        C Em    D   D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
                   D                   C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C                G           Em     D               
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

[Verse 3]
                                C                 D
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
   C                G          D
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
         G                                  C             D
And I'll write some words upon the wall, so everyone will know
  C                  G         Em     D              G
I loved so much that I could see, his blood upon the rose


[Chorus]

    D                                   C               G
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
        C              G        C Em    D   D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
                   D                   C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C                G           Em     D               G
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
      C                G           Em     D               G  
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
