Verse:

N.C.  G                            C              D
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham gaol

  C                 G              D
I think about these past few weeks, will they say we've failed?

         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                                   C               G
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

C              G/D      G/B    D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die

                                      C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger

      C                G           Em     D               G   C G C  G C  G
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Verse:

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                                   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                                   C               G
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

        C              G/D      G/B    D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die

                                      C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger

      C                G           Em     D               G   C G C  G C  G
There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye

Verse:

                                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/D      G/B    D
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die

                                      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
