Sinéad O'Connor – Raglan Road (Guitar)

   G                        C
On Raglan Road on an autumn day,

  G       D          G
I saw her first and  knew

     C                   G 
That her dark hair would weave a snare,

     Bm      G       D 
that I might one day rue

  C              G
I saw the danger yet I walked,

  Bm         Em      D7sus4   D7
a-long the enchanted way,

      G          Bm          G      C
and I said: 'Let grief, be a fallen leaf

       G       D (D7sus4) G
at the dawning of the     day'

   G      (Bm)      (G)   C
On Grafton Street in November,

           G         D (D7sus4) G
we tripped lightly a-long the   ledge

     C                  Bm     G (Em)
Of a deep ravine, where can be seen,

    Bm       G (Em)    D (D7sus4  D7)
the worth of passion's pledge

    C                      G
The Queen of Hearts, still making tarts,

    Bm    Em     D7sus4   D7
and I not making hay

      G         Bm       G       C
Oh, I loved too much by such by such,

   G         D (D7sus4) G
is happiness blown away 

  G       (Bm)         (G)        C
I gave her gifts of the mind, I-I gave her

G      D (D7sus4)   G
secret sign that's known

       C                Bm        G(Em)
To the artists who have known the true

Bm      G (Em)    D (D7sus4  D7)
gods of sound and stone

    C                G
And word and tint, I did not stint,

    Bm       Em       D7sus4    D7
For I gave her poems to say

         G        Bm         G          C
With her own name there, and her dark hair,

     G           D (D7sus4) G
like clouds over fields of  May

     G     (Bm)          (G)             C
On a quiet street, where old ghosts meet,

  G       D (D7sus4) G
I see her walking    now

 C              Bm     G (Em)
Away from me so hurriedly,

   Bm     G (Em) D (D7sus4  D7)
my reason must allow

     C                G
That I had wooed, not as I should,

  Bm       Em      D7sus4  D7
a creature made of clay

         G     Bm       G           C
When the angel woos the clay, he'll lose

    G            D (D7sus4)  G
his wings at the dawn of     day
