Greg Russell And Ciaran Algar - On Raglan Road
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[VERSE 1:]
C 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 and snare
G
That I might one day rue
[VERSE 2:]
F C
I saw the danger and I passed
G
Along the enchanted way
C F
And I said let grief be a fallen leaf
C G C
At the dawning of the day
[VERSE 3:]
F
On Grafton Street in November
C G C
We tripped lightly along the ledge
F C
But the deep ravine was hardly seen
G
The work of passion's pledge
[VERSE 4:]
F C
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
G
And I'm not making hay
C F
Oh, I love too much, by such by such
C G C
Is happiness thrown away
[VERSE 5:]
F
I gave her gifts of the mind
C G C
And I gave her secret signs
F C
Now to the artists have I known
G
To gods of sound and stone
[VERSE 6:]
F C
Good intent, I did not stint
G
I gave her poems to say
C F
In her own name there, in her own dark hell
C G C
I ploughed, so the fields obey
[VERSE 7:]
F
On a quiet street where the old ghosts meet
C G C
I see her walking now
F C
Away from me, so hurriedly
G
My reason hurts aloud
[VERSE 8:]
F C
But had I loved, not as I should
G
A creature made of clay
C F
The angel woos and loses wings
C G C
At the dawning of the day
