[Verse 1]
D
A G
On Raglan Road of an autumn day
D
I saw her first and I knew
G A D
That her dark hair would weave a snare
A7
That I might one day rue
[Chorus]
G D
I saw the danger, and I passed
A7
Along the enchanted way
D A7 D G
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf
D A7 D
At the dawning of the day
[Verse 2]
D G
On Grafton Street in November
D G D
We tripped lightly along the ledge
G D
Of the deep ravine where can be seen
A
The worth of passion's pledge
[Chorus]
G D
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I not making hay
A7
Oh,
D G
I loved too much and by such by such
D G D
Is happiness thrown away
[Verse 3]
D
I gave her gifts of the mind,
G D G D
I gave her the secret sign
G D
That's known to the artists who have known
A
The true gods of sound and the stone
[Chorus]
G D
And word and tint, oh, without stint
I gave her poems to say
A D
With her own name there and her
G D G D
Own dark hair like clouds over fields of May
[Verse 4]
D G
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
D G D
I see her walking now
G D
Away from me so hurriedly,
G D A
My reason must allow
[Chorus]
G D
That I had loved not as I should
A
A creature made of clay
D
When the angel woos the play,
G D A7 D
He'd lose his wings at the dawn of day
[Verse 1]
