G         Dsus   D                     Em7     C9
There's a funeral procession on the highway,
G       Dsus  D        Em7  C9
Traffic screeches to a halt.
G              Dsus D          Em7     C9
There's people searching for a better way,
              G   Dsus D Em7  C9
To live their lives.
G      Dsus D                    Em7       C9
Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say
G           Dsus D           Em7    C9
As tears of sadness soak the ground.
G          Dsus D             Em7       C9
The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
                     G   Dsus D Em7 C9
In the middle of the night.

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,
                           
Searching for the light.

G               Dsus D           Em7    C9
So please don't come to me on my dying day,
G          Dsus D Em7 C9
Just let me go in peace.
G            Dsus D        Em7       C9
With all the things that I forgot to say,
                       G  Dsus D Em7 C9
Still racing through my mind.
G           Dsus D             Em7      C9
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,
G         Dsus D      Em7  C9
Just burn my body in a box.
G          Dsus D Em7          C9
And let my ashes blow with the wind,
             G  Dsus D Em7  C9
Out into the night.... sky.
