[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.
