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
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.
 

   D                                    C               G
Oh Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger
          C              G               D
They will take me out at dawn and I will die
                                      C              G
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
      C                G          Em     D               G
There won't 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 brave 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.
 

  D                                    C               G

With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger

Now as the dawn is breaking my heart is breaking too
   C             G                Am                  D
As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you
         G                                 C              D
And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone shall know
  C                    G     Em      D              G
I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose
