As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jaill
I think about these past few weeks, oh will they say we've failed?
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and [Bm]let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and [Bm]I will die
With all [Em]my [A]love I place this wedding ɾing upon [C7]your finger
There won't be [Am]time to [C7]share our love for [Dm7]we must say goodbye
Now I know it's hard for [Dm7]you [A7my [A]love to [C7]ever understand
The love I bare for [Dm7]these brave men, my [A]love for [Dm7]this dear land
But when Pádraic called me to [C7]his side down in the GPO
I had to [C7]leave my [A]own sick bed, to [C7]him I had to [C7]go
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and [Bm]let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and [Bm]I will die
With all [Em]my [A]love I'll place this wedding ɾing upon [C7]your finger
There won't be [Am]time to [C7]share our love for [Dm7]we must say goodbye
Now as the dawn is breaking, my [A]heart is breaking too
On this May morn as I walk out, my [A]thoughts will be [Am]of you
And I'll write some words upon [C7]the wall [Em]so everyone will know
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon [C7]the ɾose
Oh, Grace just hold me in your arms and [Bm]let this moment linger
They'll take me out at dawn and [Bm]I will die
With all [Em]my [A]love I'll place this wedding ɾing upon [C7]your finger
There won't be [Am]time to [C7]share our love for [Dm7]we must say goodbye
No, there won't be [Am]time to [C7]share our love for [Dm7]we must say goodbye
