[Section A]
Am             C    Dm          E
Flow my tears, fall from your springs
Am           C   Dm     E
Exhiled, forever let me mourn.
      Am           G    E   Am  Dm      E
Where nights  blackbird her sad infamy sings,
C    Dm         E    A
There let me live forlorn.
[Section A1]
Am                F     Dm     E
Down vain lights, shine you no more
Am            C        Dm     E
No nights are dark enough for those.
     Am    G    E      F            Dm   E
That in despair their last fortunes deplore
C    Dm             E     A
Light doth but shame disclose.
[Section B]
C               Dm      C
Never may my woes be relieved
Am    C  F Dm E
Since pity is fled
Dm  F      F     Am  Am  C       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                      Dm G  C
From the highest spire of contentment
Am C       Dm E
My fortune is thrown
Dm  F     F   Am    Am  C    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                          Dm   E   Am
Harke! You shadows that in darkness dwell
      G     F   E
Learn to condemn light
E  G   Dm    Am    G   F  E
Happy, happy they that in hell
C     G      Dm     E    A
Feel not the world's despite.
