[Section A]
Am                C           E
Flow my tears, fall from your springs
Am               C      E
Exhiled, forever let me mourn.
      Am     C     G    E   Am    C    E
Where nights black bird her sad infamy sings,
Am    C      E       Am
There let me live forlorn.
[Section A1]
Am                    C        E
Down vain lights, shine you no more
Am                     C      E
No nights are dark enough for those.
     Am C  G    E     Am    C         E
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore
Am    C        E        Am
Light doth but shame disclose.
[Section B]
C
Never may my woes be relieved
Am                 Dm
Since pity is fled
         Am         C           G              Dm
And tears, and sighs and groans, my weary days
         Am       C   Am        E
My weary days, of all joys have deprived.
[Section B1]
C
From the highest spire of contentment
Am                   Dm
My fortune is thrown
        Am         C             G          Dm
And fear, and grief and pain for my deserts
         Am        C   Am         E
For my deserts, of all hope since hope is gone.
[Section C]
E                                   Am
Harke! You shadows that in darkness dwell
      C      E         Am
Learn to condemn light
  C      G        E
Happy, happy they that in hell
Am   C       E          Am
Feel not the world's despite.
