On Raglan Road of an autumn [G] day I [D] saw her first and knew
That [G] her dark hair [D] would weave a snare That I might one [A] day rue
I [G] saw the danger [D] and I passed Along the enchanted
[A] way
And I [D] said let grief be a fallen [G] leaf At the dawn of the day
On Grafton Street [G] in November We'd [D] trip lightly along [A] [D] the lay
On a deep ravine where can be seen The worth of passion's [A] pledge
[G] The queen of hearts still [D] making paths And I'm not making [A] hay
Oh I [D] love too much and by such, by [G] such Is happiness strong
[A]
[D] I gave her gifts of the mind [G] I [D] gave her the secret sign
[G] That's known to the artists [D] who have known The true gods of sound and [A] stone
[G] And word and tempt [D] without stim
I gave her poems [A] to say With her [D] own plain air
And her own dark [G] hair like the fowls Over fields [A] [D] of the lay
On a quiet street where old [G] ghosts meet I see her walk through
Away from me [D] so hurriedly My reason must [A]
allow
[G] That I had loved [D] not as I should A creature made of [A] clay
And the angels the clay he'd [G]
lose His wings at the dawn [A]
of [D] day
