[Verse 1]
A7  D               G
On Raglan Road on an Autumn Day,
Bm       A7        D
I saw her first and knew
G                       F#m       Bm
That her dark hair would weave a snare
D                  A7
That I may one day rue.
G                F#m    Bm
I saw the danger, yet I walked
  F#m       Bm     A7
Along the enchanted way
D              F#m        D       G
And I said let grief be a falling leaf
      Bm      A7      D
At the dawning of the day.
 
[Verse 2]
D                       G
On Grafton Street in November,
         Bm       A7        D
We tripped lightly along the ledge
G                    F#m       Bm
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
D                  A7
The world of passions pledge.
G                        F#m    Bm
The Queen of Heart's still baking tarts
  F#m       Bm     A7
And I not making hay,
D              F#m        D       G
Well I loved too much by such and such
      Bm      A7      D
Is happiness thrown away.
 
[Verse 3]
D                       G
I gave her the gifts of the mind.
Bm       A7        D
I gave her the secret sign
G                       F#m       Bm
That's known to all the artists who have
D                  Bm      A7
Known true Gods of Sound and Time.
     G                F#m    Bm
With word and tint I did not stint.
         F#m       Bm     A7
I gave her reems of poems to say
D              F#m        D       G
With her own dark hair and her own name there
      Bm            A7      D
Like the clouds over fields of May.
 
[Verse 4]
          D              G
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
Bm       A7        D
I see her walking now
G                       Fm       Bm
away from me,away from me, so hurriedly
D                  A7
my reason must allow.
G                F#m    Bm
or I have wooed not as I should
D               A7
A creature made of clay.
D              F#m        D       G
When the angel woos, the clay heel lose
      Bm            A7      D
His wings at the dawn of the day.
