Raglan Road - Luke Kelly | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D
              A      G
On Raglan Road of an autumn day
 D
I saw her first and I knew
G            A    D
That her dark hair would weave a snare
                     A7
That I might one day rue

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
     G            D
I saw the danger, and I passed
                       A7
Along the enchanted way
     D     A7   D               G
And I said,  let grief be a fallen leaf
   D             A7    D
At the dawning of  the day

[Verse 2]
---------------------
   D                      G
On Grafton Street in November
           D            G    D
We tripped lightly along the ledge
       G                 D
Of the deep ravine where can be seen
                             A
The worth of passion's pledge

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                   G            D
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I not making hay
A7            D                           G
  Oh, I loved too much and by such by such
      D            G D
Is happiness thrown   away

[Verse 3]
---------------------
  D
I gave her gifts of the mind,
G      D       G      D
I gave her the secret sign
            G               D
That's known to the artists who have known
                                    A
The true gods of sound and the stone

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
         G                    D
And word and tint, oh, without stint
I gave her poems to say
A            D
 With her own name there and her
             G           D           G   D
Own dark hair like clouds over fields of May

[Verse 4]
---------------------
     D                                  G
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet,
     D        G   D
I see her walking now
    G           D
Away from me so hurriedly,
G             D     A
My reason must allow

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
       G             D
That I had loved not as I should
                       A
A creature made of clay
           D
When the angel woos the play,
         G         D           A7   D
He'd lose his wings at the dawn  of day
