On Raglan Road of an autumn [G] day I [D] saw her [B] first [E] and knew
[G] That her dark hair would [D] weave a [Bm] snare [D] That I might one day [A] rue
[G] saw the danger [D] yet I [Bm] passed Along [D] the enchanted [A] way
And [D] I said, let grief be a fallen [G] leaf [D] At the [E] dawning of the day
Street in [G] November [D] We tripped lightly [E] along [D] the ledge
ravine where [D] can be [Bm]
seen The [D] true worth of passions [A]
pledged
[G] That her dark hair would [D] weave a [Bm] snare [D] That I might one day [A] rue
[G] saw the danger [D] yet I [Bm] passed Along [D] the enchanted [A] way
And [D] I said, let grief be a fallen [G] leaf [D] At the [E] dawning of the day
Street in [G] November [D] We tripped lightly [E] along [D] the ledge
ravine where [D] can be [Bm]
