Grace
Sean & Frank O’Meara

      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


[repeat chorus]
