So it's strum chord once, then hammer 0h2 and then pull off and strum the chord a

Verse:
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
Traffic screeches to a halt.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
There's people searching for a better way,
GDsCadd9
To live their lives.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
GDsCadd9
In the middle of the night.
(Chorus:)
EmC
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
GD/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
EmC
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
GD/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.
Verse:
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
Just let me go in peace.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
With all the things that I forgot to say,
GDsuCadd9
Still racing through my mind.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
Just burn my body in a box.
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
GDsus4DEm7Cadd9
Out into the night.... sky.
Chorus:
EmC
We celebrate the lives of the dead,
GD/F
It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.
EmC
We gather 'round to pay our respects,
GD/F
While their souls are still searching for the light,
(BACK TO VERSE CHORDS)
Searching for the light.
The End, simple.
