DGDAG D Em AD
[Verse] 
DGA As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail
 
GDEmA I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
 
DGA From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
 
GDEmD Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
AGD Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
 
GDA They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
 
GD With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
 
GDAD There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
DGA Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand
 
GDEmA The love I bare for these brave men, my love for this dear land
 
DGA But when Pádraic called me to his side down in the GPO
 
GDAD I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go
AG D Em A D
[Chorus] 
AGD Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
 
GDA They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
 
GD With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
 
GDAD There won't be time to share our love for we must say goodbye
DGA Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too
 
GDEmA On this May morn as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you
 
DGA And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know
 
GDEmD I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
AGD Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
 
GDA They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
 
GD With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
GDAD
