Really enjoying John Prosser and Paul Vine's England's Glory as sung by Bob and Gill Berry. Does anyone have the chords to it?

Here are the lyrics and possible chords:

England's Glory (John Prosser)

(Am)Mist on the Thames and the (Em)young girls are (Am) rising,
Christians awake, the (Em)Lord brings you (Am)day,
Down through the streets (Em)see the daughters of Empire (Am)
Tramping through Hackney the (Em) factory way. (Am)

Phosphorus burns in the cold light of morning
Lingering still in the air the girls breathe
Matches for men to fire England's glory
Sisters and daughters there is no relief.

This is the age of smoke and of fire
This is the age of freeman and slave
Smokestack and mill rising higher and higher
This is the age that Victoria gave.

Soon we will learn of the death and the danger
All will be told of the price we must pay
To carry the news to the friend or the stranger
Matches make fortunes at Bryant and May.

Three of us gone for telling our story
Sackings and fines are the price we must pay
Losing the battle but winning the war
We are fighting for justice the factory way.

This is the age ...

Fighting is hard for the rights of a woman
Powerless females no franchise to gain
But sisters and daughters who kneel before no man
The strength of the Union was born from your pain.

Alice and Kate, Jane, Eliza and Mary,
Sleeping alone in the graves where you lie
Yours is the victory, you're England's glory
Matches may fade but the flame will not die.

This is the age...

It looks as if Bob Berry ( on You Tube) is playing variations of G, F and C on the chorus although he seems to be using the capo on the 2nd fret. If there's anyone out there with better understanding of the accompaniment, I'd really appreciate it!
