Grace

[G]As we gather in the chapel he[C]re in old Kilma[D]inham jail
I [C]think about the last [G]few weeks Oh [Am]will they say we [D]failed
From our [G]school days they have told us we must [C]yearn for libe[D]rty
Yet [C]all I want in [G]this dark place is to [D]have you here with [G]me.

Oh [D]Grace just hold me in your arms and [C]let this moment [G]linger
They [C]take me out at [G]dawn and I will [D]die
With all my love I place this wedding [C]ring upon your [G]finger
There [C]wont be time to [G]share our love so [D]we must say good[G]bye.

Now I [G]know it's hard for you my love to [C]ever under[D]stand
The [C]love I bear for [G]these brave men my [Am]love for this brave [D]land
But when [G]Padraic called me to his side down [C]in the G.P[D].O.
I [C]had to leave my [G]own sick bed to [D]him I had to [G]go.

Oh[D] Grace just hold me in your arms and[C] let this moment[G] linger
They [C]take me out at [G]dawn and I will [D]die
With all my love I place this wedding [C]ring upon your [G]finger
There [C]wont be time to [G]share our love so [D]we must say goo[G]dbye.

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

Oh [D]Grace just hold me in your arms and [C]let this moment [G]linger
They [C]take me out at [G]dawn and I will [D]die
With all my love I place this wedding [C]ring upon your [G]finger
There [C]wont be time to [G]share our love so [D]we must say goo[G]dbye
