As we gather in the chapel here in old Kilmainham gaol 
  C                 G              D 
I think about these past few weeks, will they say we've failed?

    C             G              Em      D                  G 
Yet all I want in this dark place, is to have you here with me

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

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
