[D] [A7] [D]
[D]* On Raglan Road on an [G]* autumn day,
I [D]* saw her [G]* first and [D]* knew
That [G] her dark hair would [D]* weave a snare,
That [Bm]* I might one day [A]* rue
I [G]* saw the danger [D]* and I passed,
[Bm]* Along the enchanted [A]* way,
And I [D]* said: 'Let grief, be a fallen [G]* leaf
At the [D]* dawning [G]* of the [D]* day'
On [D] Grafton Street in Novem-[G]ber,
We tripped [D] lightly [G] along the [D] ledge
Of a [G] deep ravine, where [D] can be seen,
The [Bm] worth of passion's [A] pledge
The [G] Queen of Hearts, still [D] making tarts,
And [Bm] I not making [A] hay
Well I [D] loved too much, by [G] such and such
Is [D] happiness [G] thrown [D] away
I [D] gave her gifts of the [G] mind,
I [D] gave her the [G] secret [D] sign
That's [G] known to the artists [D] who have known,
True [Bm] gods of sound and [A] stone
And [G] word and tint, I did [D] not stint,
I [Am] gave her poems to [A] say88
With her [D] own name there, and her own black [G] hair,
like [D] clouds over [G] fields of [D] May
{c: sing quietly}
On a [D] quiet street, where old ghosts [G] meet,
I [D] see her [G] walking [D] now
[G] Away from me so [D] hurriedly,
My [Bm] reason must a-[A]llow
That [G] I had loved, not [D] as I should,
A [Bm] creature made of [A] clay
When the [D] angel woos the [G] clay he'd lose,
His [D] wings at the [G] dawn of [D] day
