.      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         Em          D                  G  G7
 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’ll take me out at dawn and I will die
.     D                                 C              G
 With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
.      C               G         Em      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 dear 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
 
 
[repeat chorus]
 
 
.    G                           C                 D
 Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
.   C                 G              Am                  D
 On this May morn' as I walk out, 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
