Raglan Road chords to the tune The Dawning of the Day
Patrick Kavanagh On Raglan Road Fáinne Geal an Lae (as performed by The Dubliners) *
Capo I (Luke Kelly sings this without a capo, i.e., open)
D
On DRaglan Road on an autumn Gday,
I Dsaw her Gfirst and Dknew
That Gher dark hair would Dweave a snare,
that I might Bmone day Arue
I Gsaw the danger Dand I passed,
along the enBmchanted Away,
and I Dsaid: 'Let grief, be a fallen Gleaf
at the Ddawning Gof the Dday'
On DGrafton Street in NovemGber,
we tripped Dlightly aGlong the Dledge
Of a Gdeep ravine, where Dcan be seen,
the worth of Bmpassion's Apledge
The GQueen of Hearts, still Dmaking tarts,
and I not Bmmaking Ahay
Oh, I Dloved too much and by such,
by Gsuch, is Dhappiness Gthrown aDway
I Dgave her gifts of the Gmind,
I Dgave her the Gsecret Dsigns
That's Gknown to the artists Dwho have known,
the true gods of Bmsound and Astone
And Gword and tint, withDout stint,
I gave her Bmpoems to Asay
With her Down name there, and her own dark Ghair,
like Dclouds over Gfields of DMay
On a Dquiet street, where old ghosts Gmeet,
I Dsee her Gwalking Dnow
AGway from me so Dhurriedly,
my reason Bmmust alAlow
That GI had loved, not Das I should,
a creature Bmmade of Aclay
When the Dangel woos the clay,
he'd Glose, his Dwings at the Gdawn of Dday
