[Intro]
C  F  C
[Verse]
On Raglan Road on an autumn Fday
I Csaw her Gfirst and Cknew
That Fher dark hair would Cweave a snare
That I might one day Grue
[Verse]
I Fsaw the danger, Cyet I walked
Along the enchanted wGay
And I Csaid, "Let grief be a falling Fleaf
At the Cdawning Gof the Cday"
[Verse]
On Grafton Street in NovemFber
We Ctripped lightly aGlong the Cledge
Of a Fdeep ravine where Ccan be seen
The worth of passion's Gpledge
[Verse]
The FQueen of Hearts still Cmaking tarts
And I not making Ghay
Oh, I Clove too much, and by such, by Fsuch
Is Chappiness Gthrown aCway
[Verse]
I gave her gifts of the Fmind
I Cgave her the Gsecret sign that's Cknown
FTo the artists that have known the Ctrue
Gods of sound and Gstorm
[Verse]
And Fgood intent, I Cdid not stint
For I gave her poems to Gsay
With her Cown name there and her long black Fhair
Like Cclouds over Gfields of CMay
[Verse]
On a quiet street where old ghosts Fmeet
I Csee her Gwalking nCow
AFway from me, so Churriedly
My reason must alGlow
[Verse]
That FI had ruled, not as I Cshould
A creature made of Gclay
When the Cangel woos, the clay he'll Flose
His Cwings at the Gdawn of Cday

[Intro]

C F C

[Verse]

On Raglan Road on an autumn day

C G C

I saw her first and knew

F C

That her dark hair would weave a snare

That I might one day rue

[Verse]

F C

I saw the danger, yet I walked

Along the enchanted way

C F

And I said, "Let grief be a falling leaf

C G C

At the dawning of the day"

[Verse]

On Grafton Street in November

C G C

We tripped lightly along the ledge

F C

Of a deep ravine where can be seen

The worth of passion's pledge

[Verse]

F C

The Queen of Hearts still making tarts

And I not making hay

C F

Oh, I love too much, and by such, by such

C G C

Is happiness thrown away

[Verse]

I gave her gifts of the mind

C G C

I gave her the secret sign that's known

F C

To the artists that have known the true

Gods of sound and storm

[Verse]

F C

And good intent, I did not stint

For I gave her poems to say

C F

With her own name there and her long black hair

C G C

Like clouds over fields of May

[Verse]

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet

C G C

I see her walking now

F C

Away from me, so hurriedly

My reason must allow

[Verse]

F C

That I had ruled, not as I should

A creature made of clay

C F

When the angel woos, the clay he'll lose

C G C

His wings at the dawn of day
