Raglan Road(Chords)

	        
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
