Verse 1:
  G+G         D MajorD   Esus2Esus2 G+G   D MajorD     G+G
On raglan road on an autumn day i saw him first and knew
   Cadd9Cadd9        G+G    Esus2Esus2   G+G    Esus2Esus2  D MajorD
That his dark hair would weave a snare that i might one day rue
 Cadd9Cadd9       G+G   Esus2Esus2 G+G     Esus2Esus2   D MajorD
I saw the danger and yet i walked along the enchanted way
   G+G          D MajorD    Esus2Esus2   G+G  D MajorD     G+G
And i said "let grief be a falling leaf at the dawning of the day"

Verse 2:
           D MajorD  Esus2Esus2     G+G    D MajorD     G+G
On grafton street in november we tripped lightly along the ledge
  Cadd9Cadd9       G+G   Esus2Esus2  G+G    Esus2Esus2  D MajorD
Of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passions play
  Cadd9Cadd9         G+G   Esus2Esus2   G+G   Esus2Esus2 D MajorD
The queen of hearts still making tarts and i not making hay
   G+G         D MajorD    Esus2Esus2  G+G  D MajorD      G+G
But i loved too much by such and such is happiness thrown away

Verse 3:
           D MajorD   Esus2Esus2 G+G    D MajorD     G+G
I gave him the gifts of the mind i gave him the secret sign
    Cadd9Cadd9      G+G Esus2Esus2     G+G         Esus2Esus2   D MajorD
That's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and time
   Cadd9Cadd9      G+G     Esus2Esus2  G+G       Esus2Esus2    D MajorD
With word and tint i never did stint i gave him reams of poems to say
   G+G             D MajorD      Esus2Esus2     G+G      D MajorD     G+G
With his own name there and his shiny black hair like the clouds over fields of may

Verse 4:
            D MajorD     Esus2Esus2 G+G    D MajorD    G+G
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet i see him walking now
Cadd9Cadd9     G+G  Esus4Esus4  G+G   Esus2Esus2 D MajorD
Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
  Cadd9Cadd9       G+G  Esus2Esus2  G+G  Esus2Esus2    D MajorD
That i had wooed not as i should a creature made of clay
     G+G       D MajorD     Esus2Esus2  G+G      D MajorD      G+G
When the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of the day
