RE                       
SOL
On Raglan Road on an autumn day 
  
RE                    
I saw her first and knew
     
SOL                 
RE
That her dark hair would weave a snare 
                     
LA7
that I might one day rue
  
SOL
I saw the danger, 
RE                               
LA7
yet I passed along the enchanted way,
      
RE                 
And I said, let grief be a fallen 
SOL         
RE      
LA7    
RE
leaf at the dawning of the day

   
RE

SOL
On Grafton Street in November 
   
RE               
SOL      
RE
we tripped lightly along the ledge
       
SOL               
RE
Of the deep ravine where can be seen 
                       
LA7
the worth of passion's pledge,
    
SOL                   
RE   
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts 
                 
LA7
and I not making hay
     
RE                            
SOL
Oh I loved too much and by such by such 
   
RE        
SOL     
RE
is happiness thrown away

  
RE                    
I gave her gifts of the mind 
SOL    
RE      
SOL    
RE          
SOL
I gave her the secret sign that's known
               
RE
To the artists who have known 
                           
LA7
the true gods of sound and stone
    
SOL             
RE
And word and tint without stint 
                        
LA7
for I gave her poems to say
         
RE                              
SOL
With her own name there and her own dark hair 
     
RE          
SOL       
RE
like clouds over fields of May

     
RE                            
SOL
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet 
  
RE      
SOL     
RE
I see her walking now
 
SOL            
RE                        
LA7
Away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow
     
SOL  
That I had loved not 
RE                             
LA7
as I should a creature made of clay
     
RE                 
When the angel woos the clay 
     
SOL      
RE           
SOL     
RE
he'd lose his wings at the dawn of day
