Intro:
SIb DOm7 SIb/RE MIb     SIb   SOLm   FA     SIb

      SIb           
As we gather in the chapel here 
   MIb            FA
in old Kilmainham Jail
  MIb               SIb
I think about these past few weeks, 
   DOm                 FA
oh will they say we've failed?
         SIb
From our school days they have told us 
        MIb            FA
we must yearn for liberty
    MIb           SIb       SOLm
Yet all I want in this dark place 
      FA                 SIb
is to have you here with me

   FA
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms 
   MIb              SIb
and let this moment linger
        MIb            SIb             FA
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
                   
With all my love I place this wedding 
MIb            SIb
ring upon your finger
      MIb              SIb       SOLm
There won't be time to share our love 
FA                  SIb
for we must say goodbye

      SIb
Now I know it's hard for you 
           MIb       FA
my love to ever understand
    MIb             SIb
The love I bare for these brave men, 
DOm                   FA
 the love for my dear land
         SIb
But when Pádraic called me 
                 MIb      FA
to his side down in the GPO
  MIb             SIb      SOLm
I had to leave my own sick bed, 
   FA           SIb
to him I had to go

   FA
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms 
   MIb              SIb
and let this moment linger
        MIb            SIb             FA
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
                   
With all my love I place this wedding 
MIb            SIb
ring upon your finger
      MIb              SIb       SOLm
There won't be time to share our love 
FA                  SIb   SOL7
for we must say goodbye

    DO
Now as the dawn is breaking, 
   FA                SOL
my heart is breaking too
   FA               DO
On this May morn as I walk out, 
REm                     SOL
 my thoughts will be of you
         DO
And I'll write some words upon the wall 
   FA            SOL
so everyone will know
  FA            
I loved so much that 
DO      LAm     SOL            DO
I could see his blood upon the rose

   SOL
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms 
   FA               DO
and let this moment linger
        FA             DO              SOL
They'll take me out at dawn and I will die
                   
With all my love I place this wedding 
FA             DO
ring upon your finger
      FA               DO        LAm
There won't be time to share our love 
    SOL             DO    DO7
for we must say goodbye
      FA               DO        LAm
There won't be time to share our love 
    SOL        FA           DO
for we must say... goodbye

Classici Italiani

Grace è un brano interpretato e inciso da Jim McCann, la cui versione è contenuta nel suo album Grace & Other Irish Love Songs pubblicato nel 1996. Canzone che nasceva nel 1985 dalla penna dei fratelli irlandesi Frank e Seán O'Meara, mette in scena una storia realmente accaduta: ad inizio Novecento, a Dublino, una ragazza di nome Grace Gifford sposò il ribelle Joseph Mary Plunkett nella cappella del carcere; purtroppo, dopo appena quindici minuti dalla cerimonia, Joseph fu giustiziato.
