Chords for Grace

_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ As we gather in the chapel here, [Eb] in old [F] Kilmainham jail,
[Eb] I think about [Bb] these past few weeks,
[Cm] Oh, will they say [F] we've failed [Bb] from our school days?
They have told us [Eb] we must yearn for [F] liberty,
[Eb] Yet all I want in this dark place [F] is to have you [Bb] here with me.
_ [F] Oh, grace, just hold me in your [Eb] arms and let this [Bb] moment linger,
[Eb] They'll take me [Bb] out at dawn and I [F] will die.
_ _ With all my love I'll place this [Eb] wedding ring upon [Bb] your finger,
[Eb] There won't be time to share our love, [F] for we must say [Bb] goodbye.
_ _ Now I know it's hard for you, my love, [Eb] to ever [F] understand,
[Eb] The love I bear [Bb] for these brave men, [Cm] my love for [F] this dear land.
[Bb] But when Parick called me to his side [Eb] down in the [F] GPO,
[Eb] I had to leave [Gm] my own sickbed, [F] to him I had [Bb] to go. _ _
[F] Oh, grace, just hold me in your arms [Eb] and let this [Bb] moment linger,
[Eb] They'll take me out [Bb] at dawn and I [F] will die. _ _
With all my love I'll place this wedding [Eb] ring upon [Bb] your finger,
There [Eb] won't be time to share our love, [F] for we must say [Bb] goodbye.
_ _ [C] Now as the dawn is breaking, [F] my heart is breaking [G] too,
[F] On this May morn [C] as I walk out, [Dm] my thoughts will be [G] of you,
And [C] I'll write some words upon the wall, [F] so everyone [G] will know,
[F] I loved so much that I could see [G] his blood upon [C] the rose.
_ [G] Oh, grace, just hold me in your arms [F] and let this moment [C] linger,
They'll [F] take me out [C] at dawn and I will [G] die.
_ _ With all my love I'll place this wedding [F] ring upon your [C] finger,
[F] There won't be time to share our love, [G] for we must say [C] goodbye.
Oh, _ [F] there won't be time [C] to share our love, [G] so we must say [F] goodbye. _
