Thread Name: Lyr Req: Grace: wife of Joseph Plunkett
Subject: RE: Grace: Song about the wife of Joseph Plunkett
"Grace" has been recorded by a number of Irish singers. Lots of Los Vegas Irish acts like Tommy Boyle and Andy Cooney. Brendon Grace does a great job of it but by far the best is by Paddy Reilly.

Nothinbg scarry in the chords but one or two seem a little out of place. Nice song to sing with other voices on the chorus but be aware that the range is deceptive.

" Grace, just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger, They take me out at dawn and i will die."

This passage can be hard to pace vocally. "They take.....Die" in particular.
