C F G
As we gathered in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
F C Dm G
I think about these past few weeks, Oh will they say we failed
C F G
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
F C G C
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.
[Chorus]
G F C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
F C G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G F C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
F C G C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
[Verse]
C F G
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
F C Dm G
The love I'll bare for these great men, my love for this dear land
C F G
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
F C G C
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
[Chorus]
G F C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
F C G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G F C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
F C G C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
[Verse]
C F G
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
F C Dm G
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be with you
C F G
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
F C G C
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.
[Chorus]
G F C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
F C G
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
G F C
With all my love I'll place this wedding ring upon your finger
F C G C
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
F C G C
Now There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.
