Verse:
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Traffic screeches to a halt.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
There's people searching for a better way,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
To live their lives.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
In the middle of the night.



[Chorus:]
F#m F#m D D
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
A A E/F E/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
F#m F#m D D
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
A A E/F E/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.



Verse:
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Just let me go in peace.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
With all the things that I forgot to say,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Still racing through my mind.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Just burn my body in a box.
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
A A Esus Esus E E F#m7 F#m7 Dadd9 Dadd9
Out into the night.... sky.



Chorus:
F#m F#m D D
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
A A E/F E/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
F#m F#m D D
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
A A E/F E/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.


The End, simple.
