[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.

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.
