On Raglan Road Uke tab by Dubliners

D                 F#m    G
On Raglan Road of an autumn day
  D       G         D
I saw her first and knew
     G                   D       Bm
That her dark hair would weave a snare
     D               A
That I might one day rue
  G              D     Bm
I saw the danger and I passed
  D                  A
A-long the enchanted way
    D                   F#m    G
And said let grief be a fallen leaf
       D       G      D
At the dawning of the day

   D                 F#m   G
On Grafton Street in Novem-ber
           D       G         D
We tripped lightly along the ledge
     G                 D      Bm
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
    D                  A
The worth of passion's pledge
    D        G            D      G
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
    D     G      A
And I not making hay
     D                    F#m      Bm
Oh I loved too much and by such by such
   D         G      D
Is happiness thrown away

  D              F#m    G
I gave her gifts of the mind
       D       G      D
I gave her the secret signs
       G                    D        Bm
That's known to the artists who have known
    D            G         A
The true gods of sound and stone
    G             D       Bm
And word and tint without stint
  G        D        A
I gave her poems to say
         D        G
With her own name there
        D   F#m    G
And her own dark hair
     D           G         D
Like clouds over fields of May

     D                  F#m        G
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet
  D       G       D
I see her walking now
  G              D      Bm     D           A
A-way from me so hurrie-dly my reason must allow
     G               D    Bm
That I had loved not as I should
  D                A
A creature made of clay
         D              F#m
When the angel woos the clay
      G        D            G       D
He'll lose his wings at the dawn of day
