*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---------------------|

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         Dsus2  D                     Em7     Cadd9
There's a funeral procession on the highway,

G       Dsus2 D        Em7  Cadd9
Traffic screeches to a halt.

G              Dsus2 D         Em7     Cadd9
There's people searching for a better way,

              G   Dsus2 D Em7  Cadd9
To live their lives.

G      Dsus2 D                   Em7       Cadd9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say

G           Dsus2 D          Em7    Cadd9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.

G          Dsus2 D            Em7       Cadd9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,

                     G   Dsus2 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               Dsus2 D          Em7    Cadd9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,

G          Dsus2 D Em7 Cadd9
Just let me go in peace.

G            Dsus2 D       Em7       Cadd9
With all the things that I forgot to say,

                       G  Dsus2 D Em7 Cadd9
Still racing through my mind.

G           Dsus2 D            Em7     Cadd9
And don't you bury me six feet underground,

G         Dsus2 D     Em7  Cadd9
Just burn my body in a box.

G          Dsus2 D Em7         Cadd9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,

             G  Dsus2 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. ************************************ | h Hammer-on | p Pull-off ************************************
