[D]
On Raglan Road of an [G] autumn 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
[G] I saw the danger [D]
and I passed Along the enchanted [A] way
And I [D] said let me be a fallen [G] leaf [D] At the dawn of [A] the [D]
day
On Grafton Street in [G] November We'd [D] trip lightly along [A] [D] the lead
[G] On the deep ravine [D] where can be seen The worth of passions [A]
pledged
[G] The queen of hearts still [D] making tithe And I'm not [A] making hay
Oh [D] I love too much and by such, by [G] such [D] Is happiness thrown
[A] [D] away
I gave her gifts of the [G] mind I [D] gave her the secret sign
[G] That's known to the [D] artists who have known The true gods of sound [A] and stone
And [G] word and tint [D] without stint I gave her poems [A] to say
She'd be with [D] her own reindeer And her own [G] dark hair
[D] Like cows over fields [A] [D] of May
On a quiet street where all [G] ghosts meet [D] I see her walking away
Away [G] from me [D] so hurriedly My reason [A] must allow
[G] That I had loved [D] not as I should
A creature made of [A] clay When [D] the angel blew the clay
[G] He'd lose his [D] wings At the dawn [A] of
[D] the day
