[G][D][Em][C]
[G][D][Em][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]There's a fun[D]eral procession
on the [Em]highway[C]
[G]Traffic scr[D]eeches to a hal[Em]t[C]
[G]There's people sea[D]rching
for a [Em]better [C]way
To live their [G]lives, [D]oh[Em][C]
[G]Johnny liv[D]ed a good life,
you'll [Em]hear them [C]say
[G]As tears of sad[D]ness
soak the [Em]ground[C]
[G]The reaper cre[D]pt in,
took his [Em]breath [C]away
In the middle of the [G]night, [D]oh[Em][C]

[Chorus 1]
[Em]We celebrate the lives of the dead[C]
It's like a man's best [G]party,
only happens when he [D]dies
[Em]We gather 'round to pay our respects[C]
While their [G]souls are still searching
for the [D]light

[Interlude 1]

[G]So please don't com[D]e to me
on my [Em]dying [C]day
[G]Just let me go [D]in pea[Em]ce[C]
[G]With all the thi[D]ngs
that I for[Em]got to s[C]ay
Racing through [G]my [D]mind, [Em]oh[C]
[G]And don't you bur[D]y me
six feet [Em]under [C]ground
[G]Just burn my bod[D]y in a box[Em][C]
[G]And let my ash[D]es
blow [Em]with the [C]wind
Out into the [G]night [D]sky[Em][C]

[Chorus 2]
[Em]We celebrate the lives of the dead[C]
It's like a man's best [G]party,
only happens when he [D]dies

While their [G]souls are still searching
for the [D]light
