[Verse 1]
B5E5D5
She took me in and fed me kindly
G5A5
But who is this tramp sat in front of me?
B5E5D5
She smiled and said, "Jilly I be!"
G5A5
Then she shouted her name into the street
B5E5B5E5
I told her I was missing but she said, "Where have you been?
B5E5B5E5
How can you lose a place, my friend, if it was never real?"
B5E5D5
I said I feel like I have fallen asleep
G5A5
Like this is all just a part of a wicked dream
B5E5D5
When I wake up, you'll see what I mean
G5A5
I'm not meant to be stuck in this poverty
B5E5B5E5
She said, "I can see infinity glint in every gleam
B5E5B5E5
You see the light as would a bug who can't pass through a screen!"
[Chorus]
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5A5
Raise your voice, Joyce
A5E5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
She paid her way
E5B5
She's not a slave
E5A5
Joyce Tops
A5E5
I'm okay
E5B5
She paid her way
E5B5
Raise your voice
E5B5
She's not a slave
E5B5
Raise your voice
E5A5
Joyce Tops
A5E5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
I'm okay
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5A5
Raise your voice, Joyce
A5D5
Raise your voice, Joyce

[Verse 2]
B5E5D5
I still think I'd like to leave
G5A5
I'm soiled and my colleagues are waiting for me
B5E5D5
If I beg, they'll let me back in
G5A5
Now would you kindly let me out of this bin?
B5E5B5E5
She said, "Take you opportunities and shove them up your ear
B5E5B5E5
Listen to the thunder, boy, it calls for you to hear!"
B5E5D5
Then, moldered in my suit and tie,
G5A5
in the filth when I started to cry
B5E5D5
She knocked the glasses right off of my eyes
G5A5
She is the stain that will never come dry!
A5B5E5
She said, "Scream at me, oh, stirring child
B5E5B5E5
Scream your little scream; in the morning world
B5E5
You are the only you who's ever been
B5E5B5E5
There is another history behind the one you've seen
B5E5B5E5
So weep until there's nothing left to weep and then be free!"
[Chorus]
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5A5
Raise your voice, Joyce
A5E5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
She paid her way
E5B5
She's not a slave
E5A5
Joyce Tops
A5E5
I'm okay
E5B5
She paid her way
E5B5
Raise your voice
E5B5
She's not a slave
E5B5
Raise your voice
E5A5
Joyce Tops
A5E5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
I'm okay
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5B5
Raise your voice, Joyce
E5A5
Raise your voice, Joyce
A5D5
Raise your voice, Joyce
[Outro]

B5
I'm okay
