No one mourns the (C6)wick ed!

No one cries: “They (C6/9)won’t re (Cmaj7)turn!”

No one (D)lays a (Cmaj7)lil y on their (Bm7)grave!

The good man scorns the (C6)wick ed!

What we miss (Cmaj7)when we mis be (A)have...

And good ness (Gmaj7)knows

the (Em6)wick ed’s lives are (F#m7)lone ly

(A)Good ness (Gmaj7)knows

Or does it grow as (C6)time wears (Cmaj7)on?

what good ness is!

Good (C)ness (Bbmaj7)knows,

the (Am7)wick ed die a lone

Woe to those

(C)No one mourns the (Bb)wick ed!

No one mourns the (Bb)wick ed!

No one mourns the (D)wick ed!
