(There really are no limits to how many times you repeat each pattern before changing chord. It depends on how fast or slow you play it.) *I personally think it sounds more like the way Luke Kelly played it on the Banjo when you play it relatively fast.* [Intro] (G Pattern) x4 [Verse 1]

O^Gn Raglan Road of an autumn d^Cay I s^Gaw her f^Dirst and k^Gnew That h^Cer dark hair would w^Geave a sn^Emare th^Gat I might one day ru^D7e; I s^Caw the danger, a^Gnd I pas^Emsed along t^Ghe enchanted wa^Dy, - And I s^Gaid, let grief be a fallen l^Ceaf at the d^Gawning o^Df the d^Gay.

[Verse 2]

O^Gn Grafton Street in Novemb^Cer we tripped l^Gightly al^Dong the l^Gedge Of a d^Ceep ravine where c^Gan be ^Emseen the worth of passion's ple^D7dge, The ^CQueen of Hearts still m^Gaking t^Emarts and ^GI not making ha^Dy - Oh I l^Goved too much and by such by s^Cuch is h^Gappiness t^Dhrown a^Gway.

[Verse 3]

I^G gave her gifts of the mind I g^Cave her the^G secr^Det s^Gign That's kn^Cown to the artists w^Gho have known the true gods of sound and s^Dtone And ^Cword and tint witho^Gut stint for I gave her poems to s^Day. With her o^Gwn name there and her own dark h^Cair like c^Glouds over f^Dields of M^Gay

[Verse 4]

O^Gn a quiet street where old ghosts m^Ceet I s^Gee her w^Dalking n^Gow A^Cway from me so h^Gurriedly my reason must a^Dllow That ^CI had loved not a^Gs I should a creature made of c^Dlay - When the a^Gngel woos the clay he'd l^Cose his w^Gings at the d^Dawn of the d^Gay.
