[INTRO:]
 |D   |%


[Verse 1]
   |D     |%         |%     |G
On  Raglan Road of an Autumn day,
 |D      |G          |D    |%
I saw her first and I knew.
    |G       |%         |D      |Bm
That her dark hair would weave a snare,
    |D      |%      |A   |%
that I might one day rue.
 |G      |%     |D    |Bm
I saw the danger and I passed,
 |D          |%      |A   |%
a-long the en-chanted way.
     |D         |%         |%      |G
And I said: "Let grief be a falling leaf,
      |D      |G     |D    |%
at the dawning of the day."


[Verse 2]
  |D      |%        |%    |G
On Grafton Street in Novem-ber,
          |D        |G       |D    |%
we tripped lightly a-long the ledge.
    |G      |%         |D     |Bm
Of a deep ra-vine where can be seen,
   |D       |%        |A     |%
the worth of passion's pledge.
   |G       |%           |D     |Bm
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts,
   |D    |%     |A   |%
and I not making hay.
    |D        |%   |%     |G
Oh I loved too much and by such,
          |D        |G       |D   |%
by such is happiness thrown a-way.


[Verse 3]
  |D       |%    |%     |G
I  gave her gifts of the mind,
 |D           |G     |D    |%
I gave her the secret sign.
      |G           |%      |D       |Bm
That's known to the artists who have known,
        |D      |%        |A    |%
the true Gods of sound and stone.
   |G       |%        |D   |Bm
And word and tint with-out  stint,
 |D       |%       |A   |%
I gave her poems to say.
    |D      |%                 |%        |G
With her own name there and her long dark hair,
    |D          |G        |D   |%
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      |Bm
A-way from me so hurried-ly,
  |D     |%      |A    |%
my reason must al-low.
    |G     |%        |D   |Bm
That I have loved not as I should,
 |D       |%      |A    |%
a creature made of clay.
        |D    |%       |%         |G
When the angel woes the clay he'll lose,
   |D           |G      |D   |D
his wings at the dawn of day.
