[Verse]
                            F
On Raglan Road on an autumn day
  C       G         C
I saw her first and knew
     F                   C
That her dark hair would weave a 
snare
                     G
That I might one day rue

[Verse]
  F               C
I saw the danger, yet I walked
                     G
Along the enchanted way
      C                            
And I said, "Let grief be a falling
 F
 leaf
       C       G      C
At the dawning of the day"

[Verse]
                          F
On Grafton Street in November
   C                G        C
We tripped lightly along the ledge

     F                 C
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
                       G
The worth of passion's pledge

[Verse]
    F                     C
The Queen of Hearts still making 
tarts
                 G
And I not making hay
      C                            
Oh, I love too much, and by such, 
  F
by such
   C         G       C
Is happiness thrown away

[Verse]
                        F
I gave her gifts of the mind
  C            G                  
I gave her the secret sign that's 
C
known
F                                  
To the artists that have known the 
C
true
                  G
Gods of sound and storm

[Verse]
    F              C
And good intent, I did not stint
                        G
For I gave her poems to say
         C                         
With her own name there and her 
        F
long black hair
     C           G         C
Like clouds over fields of May

[Verse]
On a quiet street where old ghosts 
F
meet
  C       G        C
I see her walking now
 F               C
Away from me, so hurriedly
                 G
My reason must allow

[Verse]
     F                     C
That I had ruled, not as I should
                   G
A creature made of clay
         C                         
When the angel woos, the clay he'll
 F
 lose
    C            G       C
His wings at the dawn of day
