PLUCKING STRINGS
[Verse 1]
On Graglan road on an Dautumn Esus2day i Gsaw him Dfirst and Gknew
That Cadd9his dark hair would Gweave a sEsus2nare that Gi might Esus2one day Drue
I Cadd9saw the danger and Gyet i Esus2walked Galong the Esus2enchanted Dway
And i Gsaid "let grief be a Dfalling lEsus2eaf at the GdawnDing of the Gday"
[Verse 2]
On grafton street in DnovemEsus2ber we tripped Glightly Dalong the Gledge
Of a Cadd9deep ravine where Gcan be Esus2seen the Gworth of Esus2passions Dplay
The Cadd9queen of hearts still Gmaking Esus2tarts and Gi not Esus2making Dhay
But i Gloved too much by Dsuch and Esus2such is GhappiDness thrown Gaway
[Verse 3]
I gave him the gifts Dof the Esus2mind i Ggave him Dthe secret Gsign
That's Cadd9known to all the GartEsus2ists who have Gknown true gods of Esus2sound and Dtime
With Cadd9word and tint i Gnever did Esus2stint i Ggave him reams Esus2of poems to Dsay
With Ghis own name there and his Dshiny black Esus2hair like the Gclouds over Dfields of Gmay
[Verse 4]
On a quiet street where Dold ghosts Esus2meet i Gsee him Dwalking Gnow
Cadd9Away from me so GhurrEsus4iedly my Greason Esus2must Dallow
ThaCadd9t i had wooed not Gas i Esus2should a GcreatEsus2ure made of Dclay
When the Gangel woos the Dclay he'll Esus2lose his Gwings at the Ddawn of the Gday

PLUCKING STRINGS

[Verse 1]

G D Esus2 G D G

On raglan road on an autumn day i saw him first and knew

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

That his dark hair would weave a snare that i might one day rue

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

I saw the danger and yet i walked along the enchanted way

G D Esus2 G D G

And i said "let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day"

[Verse 2]

D Esus2 G D G

On grafton street in november we tripped lightly along the ledge

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

Of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passions play

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

The queen of hearts still making tarts and i not making hay

G D Esus2 G D G

But i loved too much by such and such is happiness thrown away

[Verse 3]

D Esus2 G D G

I gave him the gifts of the mind i gave him the secret sign

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

That's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and time

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

With word and tint i never did stint i gave him reams of poems to say

G D Esus2 G D G

With his own name there and his shiny black hair like the clouds over fields of may

[Verse 4]

D Esus2 G D G

On a quiet street where old ghosts meet i see him walking now

Cadd9 G Esus4 G Esus2 D

Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow

Cadd9 G Esus2 G Esus2 D

That i had wooed not as i should a creature made of clay

G D Esus2 G D G

When the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of the day
