Raglan Road chords by Mark Knopfler

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse
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
