On Raglan Road of an autumn [G] day, [Gm] I [D] saw her first and knew
That [G] her dark hair [B] [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 said [D] let grief be a fallen [G] leaf [D] at the dawn of [A] [D] the day
On Grafton Street [G] in November, we'd [D] trip lightly along [A] the [D] lair
Of [G] a deep ravine [D] where can be seen the worth of [A] passion's pledge
[G] The Queen of Hearts [D] still making tarts and I'm not making [A] hay
Oh I
[D] loved too much and by such, [G] by such [D] is happiness thrown [A] [D] away
I gave her gifts of the [G] mind, I gave her the [A] secret [D]
sign
[G] That's known to the [D] artists who have known The true gods of sound [A] and stone
[G] And word and time
[D] without sting I gave her poems [A] to say
She with [D] her own lame lair and her own [G] dark hair
[D] Like clouds over [A] fields [D] of May On a quiet street where all [G] ghosts meet
[D] I see her walking away
[G] from me so [D] hurriedly
My reason must [A]
allow [G] that I had loved [D] not as I should
A creature made of [A] clay, when [D] the angels the clay [G] he'd lose
His [D] wings at the dawn [A] of [D] the day
[N]
That [G] her dark hair [B] [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 said [D] let grief be a fallen [G] leaf [D] at the dawn of [A] [D] the day
On Grafton Street [G] in November, we'd [D] trip lightly along [A] the [D] lair
Of [G] a deep ravine [D] where can be seen the worth of [A] passion's pledge
[G] The Queen of Hearts [D] still making tarts and I'm not making [A] hay
Oh I
[D] loved too much and by such, [G] by such [D] is happiness thrown [A] [D] away
I gave her gifts of the [G] mind, I gave her the [A] secret [D]
sign
[G] That's known to the [D] artists who have known The true gods of sound [A] and stone
[G] And word and time
[D] without sting I gave her poems [A] to say
She with [D] her own lame lair and her own [G] dark hair
[D] Like clouds over [A] fields [D] of May On a quiet street where all [G] ghosts meet
[D] I see her walking away
[G] from me so [D] hurriedly
My reason must [A]
allow [G] that I had loved [D] not as I should
