*Note: when he plays the Em7 and the Cadd9, you can hear a slight hammer on thing

D|--2-0h2p0-0--2-0h2p0-0-----------------------------------------------|

So it's strum chord once, then hammer 0h2 and then pull off and strum the chord a
few times with an open D string. Listen carefully and you'll hear what i'm on
about!!! Promise!
[Verse]
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Traffic screeches to a halt.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
There's people searching for a better way,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
To live their lives.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
In the middle of the night.
[Chorus]
Em C
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
G D/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
Em C
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
G D/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.
[Verse]
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Just let me go in peace.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
With all the things that I forgot to say,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Still racing through my mind.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Just burn my body in a box.
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
G Dsus D Em7 Cadd9
Out into the night.... sky.
[Chorus]
Em C
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
G D/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
Em C
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
G D/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.
