Intro: G  Am  C  Em

Verse 1:

G                     Am
I wander through each chartered street,

C                        Em
near where the chartered Thames does flow, 

G                 Am
and mark in every face I meet 

C                  Em
marks of weakness, marks of woe.

Verse 2:
in every cry of every man, 
in every infant's cry of fear, 
in every voice, in every ban, 
the mind-forged manacles I hear.

Verse 3:
how the chimney-sweeper's cry 
every blackening church appalls, 
and the hapless soldier's sigh 
runs in blood down palace walls.

Solo: (twice)

Verse 4:
but most, through midnight streets I hear
how the youthful harlot's curse 
blasts the new-born infant's tear 
and blights with plagues the marriage hearse.
