G Bm C
On Raglan Road on an Autumn Day,
Em D G
I saw her first and knew
C Bm Em
That her dark hair would weave a snare
G Em Am D
That I may one day rue.
C Bm Em
I saw the danger, yet I walked
G Em Am D
Along the enchanted way
G Bm C
And I said let grief be a falling leaf
Em D G
At the dawning of the day.
Verse
G Bm C
On Grafton Street in November,
Em D G
We tripped lightly along the ledge
C Bm Em
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
G Em Am D
The worst of passions pledged.
C Bm Em
The Queen of Hearts still baking tarts
G Em Am D
And I not making hay,
G Bm C
Well I loved too much by such and such
Em D G
Is happiness thrown away.
Verse
G Bm C
I gave her gifts of the mind
Em D G
I gave her the secret signs
C Bm Em
That's known to the artists who have known
G Em Am D
The true gods of sound and stone
C Bm Em
And word and tint did not stint
G Em Am D
I gave her poems to say
G Bm C
With her own name there and her own dark hair
Em D G
Like clouds over fields of May
Verse
G Bm C
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet
Em D G
I see her walking now
C Bm Em
Away from me so hurriedly
G Em Am D
My reason must allow
C Bm Em
That had I loved not as I should
G Em Am D
A creature made of clay
G Bm
When the angel woos the clay
C Em D G
He'd lose his wings at the dawn of day
