Raglan Road

A D On Raglan Road on an autumn day, A E A I saw her first and knew D A That her dark hair would weave a snare, C#m A E that I might one day rue D A I saw the danger yet I walked, C#m F#m E7sus4 E7 a-long the enchanted way, A C#m A D and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf A E E7sus4 A at the dawning of the day' A C#m A D On Grafton Street in November, A E E7sus4 A we tripped lightly a-long the ledge D C#m A F#m Of a deep ravine, where can be seen, C#m A F#m E E7sus4 E7 the worth of passion's pledge D A The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts, C#m F#m E7sus4 E7 and I not making hay A C#m A D Oh, I loved too much by such by such, A E E7sus4 A is happiness blown away A C#m A D I gave her gifts of the mind, I-I gave her A E E7sus4 A secret sign that's known D C#m GF#m To the artists who have known the true C#m A F#m E E7sus4 E7 gods of sound and stone D A And word and tint, I did not stint, C#m F#m E7sus4 E7 For I gave her poems to say A C#m A D With her own name there, and her dark hair, A E E7sus4 A like clouds over fields of May A C#m A D On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet, A E E7sus4 A I see her walking now D C#m A F#m Away from me so hurriedly, C#m A F#m E E7sus4 E7 my reason must allow D A That I had wooed, not as I should, C#m F#m E7sus4 E7 a creature made of clay A C#m A D When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose A E E7sus4 A his wings at the dawn of day
