[Verse 1]
On DRaglan Road on an autumn Gday,
I Dsaw her Afirst and Gknew
That Gher dark hair would Dweave a Bmsnare,
that DI might one day Arue
I Gsaw the danger Dyet I Bmpassed,
alDong the enchanted Away,
and I Dsaid: 'Let grief, be a fallen Gleaf
at the Ddawning Aof the Gday'
[Verse 2]
On DGrafton Street in November,
Gwe tripped Dlightly aAlong the Gledge
Of a Gdeep ravine, where Dcan be Bmseen,
the Dworth of passion's Apledge
The GQueen of Hearts, still Dmaking Bmtarts,
and DI not making Ahay
Oh, I Dloved too much and by such, by sGuch,
is Dhappiness Athrown aGway
[Verse 3]
I Dgave her gifts of the Gmind,
I Dgave her the Asecret Gsigns
That's Gknown to the artists Dwho have Bmknown,
the Dtrue gods of sound and Astone
And Gword and tint, withDout Bmstint,
I Dgave her poems to Asay
With her Down name there, and her own dark Ghair,
like Dclouds over Afields of GMay
[Verse 4]
On a Dquiet street, where old ghosts Gmeet,
I Dsee her Awalking Gnow
AGway from me so DhurriedBmly,
my Greason must alAlow
That GI had loved, not Das I Bmshould,
a Dcreature made of Aclay
When the Dangel woos the clay, he'd lGose,
his Dwings at the Adawn of Gday

These chords are for The High Kings' version of Raglan Road

[Verse 1]

D G

On Raglan Road on an autumn day,

D A G

I saw her first and 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 yet I passed,

D A

along the enchanted way,

D G

and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf

D A G

at the dawning of the day'

[Verse 2]

On Grafton Street in November,

G D A G

we tripped lightly along the ledge

G D Bm

Of a deep ravine, 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, by such,

D A G

is happiness thrown away

[Verse 3]

D G

I gave her gifts of the mind,

D A G

I gave her the secret signs

G D Bm

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, without stint,

D A

I gave her poems to say

D G

With her own name there, and her own dark hair,

D A G

like clouds over fields of May

[Verse 4]

D G

On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,

D A G

I see her walking now

G D Bm

Away from me so hurriedly,

G A

my reason must allow

G D Bm

That I had loved, not as I should,

D A

a creature made of clay

D G

When the angel woos the clay, he'd lose,

D A G

his wings at the dawn of day
