On Raglan Road [G] of an autumn day [D] I saw her first [A] [D] and knew
That her dark hair would weave a snare That I might one [A] day rue
I [Gm] saw the [D] danger and I passed Along the [A] enchanted way
And I said [D] let grief [G] be a fallen leaf [D] At the [A] dawning of the [D] day
On Graffton Street in [G] November [D] We tripped lightly [G] along [D]
the ledge
Of [G] a deep ravine [D] where can be seen The worth of [A] passions pledged
[G] The queen of [D] hearts still making tarts And I not [A] making hay
Oh [D] I loved too much and [A] by such, [G] by such [D] Is happiness [G] thrown [D] away
I gave her gifts of the mind [G] I gave [D] her the [G] secret [D] sign
[G] That 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
[D] With her own name there and her own [G] dark hair [D] Like clouds over fields of May
On a quiet street [F#m] [D] where old [G] ghosts meet [D] I see [Bm]
her walking [D] now
[G] Away from me [D] so hurriedly My reason [A]
must allow
[G] That I had loved [D] not as I should A creature made [A] of clay
[D] When the angel woos the clay [G] He'd lose [D] his wings [G] at the dawn [A] [D] of day
That her dark hair would weave a snare That I might one [A] day rue
I [Gm] saw the [D] danger and I passed Along the [A] enchanted way
And I said [D] let grief [G] be a fallen leaf [D] At the [A] dawning of the [D] day
On Graffton Street in [G] November [D] We tripped lightly [G] along [D]
the ledge
Of [G] a deep ravine [D] where can be seen The worth of [A] passions pledged
[G] The queen of [D] hearts still making tarts And I not [A] making hay
Oh [D] I loved too much and [A] by such, [G] by such [D] Is happiness [G] thrown [D] away
I gave her gifts of the mind [G] I gave [D] her the [G] secret [D] sign
[G] That 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
[D] With her own name there and her own [G] dark hair [D] Like clouds over fields of May
On a quiet street [F#m] [D] where old [G] ghosts meet [D] I see [Bm]
her walking [D] now
[G] Away from me [D] so hurriedly My reason [A]
must allow
[G] That I had loved [D] not as I should A creature made [A] of clay
