On Raglan Road Ukulele chords by Luke Kelly

On Raglan Road on an autumn day,
  C      F        C
I saw her first and knew
     F                  C
That her dark hair would weave a snare,
             Am      G
that I might one day rue
  F             C
I saw the danger and I passed,



            Am      G
along the enchanted way,
      C                            F
and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf
       C      F     C
at the dawning of the day'
   C                     F
On Grafton Street in November,
           C       F       C
we tripped lightly along the ledge
     F                 C
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen,
             Am        G
the worth of passion's pledge
    F                     C
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts,
          Am     G
and I not making hay
      C
Oh, I loved too much and by such,
   F       C        F      C
by such, is happiness thrown away
  C                    F
I gave her gifts of the mind,
  C           F     C
I gave her the secret signs
       F                   C
That's known to the artists who have known,
                 Am        G
the true gods of sound and stone
    F                 C
And word and tint, without stint,
           Am       G
I gave her poems to say
         C                               F
With her own name there, and her own dark hair,
     C          F        C
like clouds over fields of May
     C                             F
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,
  C      F      C
I see her walking now
 F             C
Away from me so hurriedly,
          Am     G
my reason must allow
     F               C
That I had loved, not as I should,
           Am      G
a creature made of clay
         C
When the angel woos the clay,
     F        C           F      C
he'd lose, his wings at the dawn of day
