The skies once so blue and beautiful

C C G G G A Bb A G

Are littered with crass, cruel foes

F Eb D C D Bb C

Their bleak, black wings beat a dreadful beat

C D Eb F G G Bb A F F

Over sorrowful songs of woes

F A G F Eb F D C

But it will not be so in the Mended Wood

C C D Eb F G G Bb A F F 

We’ll be free and glad again

F A G Eb Eb G F

It will not be so in the Mended Wood

C D Eb F G G Bb A F F

When the heir of Jupiter reigns 

F A G Eb F Eb D C

Songs of suffering and cruel murders

C Bb C G G A Bb A G

All lament and never a voice

F Eb D C D C Bb C

Raised in grateful gladness to the heights

C D Eb F G G Bb A F F

Never reason to rejoice

F A G F Eb F Eb D C

But it will not be so in the Mended Wood

C C D Eb F G G Bb A F F 

We’ll be free and glad again

F A G Eb Eb G F

It will not be so in the Mended Wood

C D Eb F G G Bb A F F

When the heir of Jupiter reigns 

F A G Eb F Eb D C
