Joe, Here are the lyrics with chords for "Grace". I don't know how to attach a wav. file or I would put a copy of the recording in as well.

GRACE
       C                             F              G
As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham Jail,
F C G
I think about the last few weeks oh will they say we failed?
C F G
From our school days they have told us we must yearn for liberty,
F C Am G C
Yet all I want in this dark place is to have you here with me.

CHORUS:
G F C
Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger.
F C G
Then take me out at dawn and I will die._________
F C
With all my love I place this wedding ring upon your finger
F C Am G C
There won't be time to share our love, for we must say good-bye.

V2.
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 dear land.
But when Padraic called me to his side, down in the GPO.
I had to leave my own sick bed, to him I had to go.

CHORUS

V3.
Now as the dawn is breaking, my heart is breaking too,
On this May morn, as I walk out, my thoughts will be of you.
And I'll write some words upon the walls, os everyone will know,
I loved you so much that I could see his blood upon the rose.

CHORUS
