Rod Stewart – Grace (Guitar)

D                                   G              A
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail

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

           D                                    G             A
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty

        G               D               Em                  D
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me

    A                                   G               D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

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

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

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

    D                                   G           A
Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand

     G                D                  Em                  A
The love I bare for these brave men, my love for this dear land

          D                                 G        A
But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO

   G               D                A           D
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go

    A                                   G                 D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

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

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

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

D                                 G                A
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too

    G               D                Em                 A
On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you

          D                         G                      A
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know

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

    A                                   G               D
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger

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

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

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