Verse:

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

Chorus:

  A                  G        G
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

Verse:

  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

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

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

Chorus:

  A                  G        G
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
