Lyrics by the Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh, music from the traditional
F?inne Geal an La /Dawning of the Day.
Fromhe free EP that came with The Internationale. The arrangement's
mostly piano. The guitar's capoed at the 8th fret (in Ab), but you can
only really hear it during the intro, so you might be better to tune down
four frets and play it at the nut.
4/4 time 52bpm

On Raglan Road on an Autumn day I saw her first and knew[/tab]

that her dark hair would weave a snare that I would some day rue[/tab]

On Grafton Street in November we walked lightly along the ledge[/tab]
[tab] F C G
of a deep ravine where can be seen the worth of passion's pledge[/tab]
[tab] F C G
the queen of hearts still making tarts and I not making hay[/tab]
[tab] C F C G C
and I loved too much, and by such, by such is happiness thrown away[/tab]
[tab] C F C G C
I gave her the gifts of the mind I gave her a secret sign[/tab]
[tab] F C G
that's known to all the artists who have known true gods of sound and[/tab]
tone
[tab] F C G
and word and tint I never did stint I gave her poems to say[/tab]
[tab] C F C G
with her own name there and her long dark hair like clouds o'er the[/tab]
fields
[tab] C
of May[/tab]
[tab] C F C G C
on a quiet street where old ghosts meet I see her walking now[/tab]
[tab] F C G
away from me so hurriedly my reason must allow[/tab]
[tab] F C G
theta I have wooed not as I should a creature made of clay[/tab]
[tab] C F C G C
when the angel woos the clay he'll lose his wings at the dawn of day[/tab]
