Verse
A E F#m D
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
A E F#m D
Traffic screeches to a halt.
A E F#m D
There's people searching for a better way,
A E F#m D
To live their lives.
A E F#m D
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
A E F#m D
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
A E F#m D
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
A E F#m D
In the middle of the night
[Chorus:]
F#m D
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
A E
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
F#m D
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
A E
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Searching for the light. -> back to verse chords
Verse:
A E F#m D
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
A E F#m D
Just let me go in peace.
A E F#m D
With all the things that I forgot to say,
A E F#m D
Still racing through my mind.
A E F#m D
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
A E F#m D
Just burn my body in a box.
A E F#m D
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
A E F#m D
Out into the night.... sky.
Chorus:
F#m D
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
A E
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
F#m D
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
A E
While their souls are still searching for the light,
Searching for the light. -> back to verse chords then finish
