Grace Chords

   
      G                            C              D
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail
  C                    G            Am               D
I think about the last few weeks Oh will they say we failed
         G                                     C             D
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
    C             G                     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
They 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                 D               G
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

      G                                 C         D
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
    C               G                  Am                  D
The love I bear for these brave men my love for this brave land
         G                                  C         D
But when Padraic called me to his side down in the G.P.O.
  C               G               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
They 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                 D              G
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

    G                          C                 D
Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking to
   C             G                Am                  D
As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you
         G                                 C             D
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
  C                    G             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
They 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                 D              G
There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye
