On Raglan Road chords to the tune The Dawning of the Day
Luke Kelly (Patrick Kavanagh On Raglan Road Fáinne Geal an Lae )
D MajorD
D MajorD 
G+G
On Raglan Road on an autumn day,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I saw her first and knew
G+G D MajorD
That her dark hair would weave a snare,
B minorBm 
A augmentedA
that I might one day rue
G+G D MajorD
I saw the danger and I passed,
B minorBm A augmentedA
along the enchanted way,
D MajorD G+G
and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
at the dawning of the day'
D MajorD G+G
On Grafton Street in November,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
we tripped lightly along the ledge
G+G D MajorD
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen,
B minorBm A augmentedA
the worth of passion's pledge
G+G D MajorD
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts,
B minorBm A augmentedA
and I not making hay
D MajorD
Oh, I loved too much and by such,
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
by such, is happiness thrown away
D MajorD G+G
I gave her gifts of the mind,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I gave her the secret signs
G+G D MajorD
That's known to the artists who have known,
B minorBm A augmentedA
the true gods of sound and stone
G+G D MajorD
And word and tint, without stint,
B minorBm A augmentedA
I gave her poems to say
D MajorD G+G
With her own name there, and her own dark hair,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
like clouds over fields of May
D MajorD G+G
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
I see her walking now
G+G D MajorD
Away from me so hurriedly,
B minorBm A augmentedA
my reason must allow
G+G D MajorD
That I had loved, not as I should,
B minorBm A augmentedA
a creature made of clay
D MajorD
When the angel woos the clay,
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
he'd lose, his wings at the dawn of day
