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