Traffic screeches to a halt.

Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say

As tears of sadness soak the ground.

The reaper crept in, took his breath away,
A E F#m D
In the middle of the night

We celebrate the lives of the dead,

It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies.

We gather 'round to pay our respects,

So please don't come to me on my dying day,

With all the things that I forgot to say,

And let my ashes blow with the wind,

Out into the night.... sky.
