♫ Verse 1:
   D      A         Bm      G
On Raglan Road on an autumn day
  D       G         D
I saw her first and knew
     G                   D     A Bm
That her dark hair would weave a snare
D                     A
 That I might one day rue
  G              D   A Bm
I saw the danger and I passed
D                    A
 Along the enchanted way
      D         A     Bm           G
And I said: Let grief, be a fallen leaf
       D       G      D
At the dawning of the day

♫ Verse 2:
   D       A     Bm        G
On Grafton Street November we
        D        G        D
Tripped lightly along the ledge
     G                  D   A  Bm
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen
D                       A
 The worth of passion's pledge
    G                      D  A   Bm
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts
D                 A
 And I not making hay
      D         A   Bm           G
Oh
I loved too much, by such by such
   D    G            D
Is happiness thrown away


♫ Verse 3:
  D        A    Bm       G
I gave her gifts of the mind
  D            G      D
I gave her the secret signs
       G                D   A    Bm
That's known to artists who have known
D                           A
 The true gods of sound and stone
    G                  D A Bm
And word and tint, without stint
D                    A
 I gave her poems to say
         D        A    Bm             G
With her own name there, her own dark hair
     D           G         D
Like clouds over fields of May

♫ Verse 4:
     D     A      Bm                G
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet
  D       G       D
I see her walking now
 G              D   A  Bm
Away from me so hurriedly
D                 A
 My reason must allow
     G                D  A Bm
That I had loved, not as I should
D                   A
 A creature made of clay
         D     A   Bm             G
When the angel woos the clay he'd lose
     D            G           N.C.
This wings at the dawn of the day
