*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 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.
