Grace Lyrics and chords, written by Sean And Frank O'Meara. Recorded by Jim McCann, The Dubliners and The Wolfe Tones, The tin whistle notes are included.

As[G] we gather in the chapel here,in[C] old Kilmainham [D]jail,

I[C] think about the[G] last few weeks,Oh will they say we [Am]failed,

From our[G] school days they have told us we must [C]yearn for liber[D]ty,

Yet[C] all I want in[G] this dark place is to[D] have you here with[G] me.

[Chorus]

Oh[D] Grace just hold me in your arms,and[C] let this moment[G] linger,

They[C] take me out at[G] dawn and[Am] I will[D] die,

With all my love I place this wedding[C] ring upon your [G]finger,

There[C] wont be time to[G] share our love so[D] we must say good[G]bye.

[2]

Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand,

The love I bear for these brave men my love for this brave land,

But wheb Padraic called me to his side down i the G.P.O.

I had to leave my own sick bed,to him I had to go.

[Chorus]

[G]Now as the dawn is breaking,my[C] heart is breaking [D]to,

As [C]I walk out on [G]this May morn my thoughts will be of [Am]you,

And I'll[G] write some words upon the wall so [C]everyone will [D]know,

I [C]loved so much that[G] I could see his[D] blood upon the [G]rose,

Repeat Chorus.

Song Words Without The Chords

As we gather in the chapel here,in old Kilmainham jail,

I think about the last few weeks,Oh will they say we 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.

[Chorus]

Oh Grace just hold me in your arms,and let this moment linger,

They take me out at dawn and I will die,

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

There wont be time to share our love so we must say goodbye.

[2]

Now I know it's hard for you my love to ever understand,

The love I bear for these brave men my love for this brave land,

But wheb Padraic called me to his side down i the G.P.O.

I had to leave my own sick bed,to him I had to go.

[Chorus]

Now as the dawn is breaking,my heart is breaking to,

As I walk out on this May morn my thoughts will be of you,

And I'll write some words upon the wall so everyone will know,

I loved so much that I could see his blood upon the rose,

Repeat Chorus.
