No one mourns the (C6)wick ed!
No one cries: “They (C6/9)won’t re (Cmaj7)turn!”
No one (D)lays a (Am)lil y (Cmaj7)on their (Bm7)grave!
The good man scorns the (C6)wick ed!
Through their lives, our (C6/9)chil dren learn:
What we miss
(Am)when we mis be (A)have...
And good ness (G)knows
the (Em6)wick ed’s lives are (F#m7)lone ly.
(A)Good ness (G)knows
the (Em6)wick ed die a (F#m7)lone.
(A)It just (Em11)shows
when you’re wick ed you’re left (C)on ly
on your (A)own...
Are they born as (C6)wick ed?
Or does it grow as (C6)time wears on?
Who can (D)say?— But (Am)this we (Cmaj7)un der (Bm7)stand:
No one mourns the (Eb)wick ed!
When at last they’re (Eb)dead and (Ebmaj7)gone,
then at last, (Bb)there’s (Cm)joy through (Ebmaj7)out the (C)land!
(Dm7)And
(C)good ness (Bb)knows
we (Am7)know
what good ness is!
Good (C)ness (Bb)knows,
(Bbmaj7)the (Gm6)wick ed die (Am7)a lone.
Woe to those
who (Eb)spurn what good ness es
they are (C7sus)shown...
(C)No one mourns the (Dm)wick ed!
No one mourns the (D)wick ed!
Wick ed!
Wick ed!

The song is in the key of G at 76 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
