  On Raglan Road, On an Autumn day,  I saw her first, And knew
     FF    FF       C majorC    Am7Am7     C majorC    Am7Am7   G+G
  That her dark hair, Would weave and snare,  That I might one day rue
    FF    FF    C majorC   Am7Am7     C majorC     Am7Am7   G+G
  I saw the danger, Yet I walked,  Along the Enchanted Way
      C majorC      C majorC      Am7Am7   FF        C majorC  G+G    C majorC
  And I said, Let grief, Be a falling leaf,  At the dawning of the day

     C majorC    C majorC    Am7Am7  FF         C majorC   G+G     C majorC
  On Grafton Street, In November, We tripped lightly along the ledge
     FF   FF      C majorC   Am7Am7     C majorC     Am7Am7   G+G
  Of a deep ravine, Where can be seen,  The work of passions pledge
     FF    FF        C majorC   Am7Am7     C majorC        Am7Am7       G+G
  The Queen of hearts,  Still making tarts,  And I, And I, And I, I'm not making hay
         C majorC    C majorC     Am7Am7   FF      C majorC    G+G   C majorC
  Oh, But I loved too much,  By such and such,  Is happiness thrown away

  I gave her the gifts, Of the mind, Oh, Lord, I gave her, I gave her the secret sign
       FF    FF     C majorC  Am7Am7      C majorC    Am7Am7        G+G
  That's known to all the artists, Who have known, To gods of sound and time
     FF   FF     C majorC    Am7Am7
  With word intent, I never did stint
    C majorC     Am7Am7              G+G
  I gave her, Reams of, Reams of, Poems to say
       C majorC     C majorC        Am7Am7     FF
  With our own name there,  And her shiny black hair
        C majorC      G+G    C majorC
  Like the clouds over fields of May

      C majorC   C majorC      Am7Am7     FF    C majorC     G+G        C majorC
  On a quiet street, Where old ghosts meet, I see her, I see her walking now
   FF    FF           C majorC  Am7Am7
  Away from me, Away from me, So hurriedly
       C majorC           Am7Am7        G+G
  And my reason, My reason, My reason, My reason hurts aloud
     FF    FF     C majorC   Am7Am7      C majorC   Am7Am7   G+G
  That I have woo'ed, Not as I should,  A augmentedA creature made of clay
        C majorC  C majorC       Am7Am7   FF
  When the angel woos, And the clay he lose
     C majorC      G+G      C majorC
  His wings At the dawn of the day,    Alright
