Misc Traditional – Grace (Guitar)

      G                            C              D
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham jail

  C                 G                  Am               D
I think about these past 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         Em            D                  G
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me

   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          Em       D               G
There won't 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         Em       D            G
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

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

    G                          C                 D
Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking too

   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       Em      D              G
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose

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