*Note: when he plays the Em7 and the Cadd9, you can hear a slight hammer on thing
going on in the background.. All that is.. is:

e|——3———————3——3———————3———————————————————————————————————————————————|
B|——3———————3——3———————3———————————————————————————————————————————————|
G|——0———————0——0———————0———————————————————————————————————————————————|
D|——2—0h2p0—0——2—0h2p0—0———————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|——2———————2——3———————3———————————————————————————————————————————————|
E|——0———————0——0———————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.


The End, simple.
