Body In A Box Tab

by City And Colour


The original album version is Capo 2, but this Tab is made for standard tuning for those 
dont have a capo.  Easy.


Verse

                                            
There's a funeral procession on the highway,

                                            
Traffic screeches to a halt.

                                            
There's people searching for a better way,

                                            
To live their lives.

                                            
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,

                                            
In the middle of the night

[Chorus:]

                               
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,

                                              
While their souls are still searching for the light,

Verse:

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

                                            
Just let me go in peace.

                                            
With all the things that I forgot to say,

                                            
Still racing through my mind.

                                            
And don't you bury me six feet under ground,

                                            
Just burn my body in a box.

                                            
And let my ashes blow with the wind,


                                            
Out into the night.... sky.


Chorus:

                               
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,

                                              
While their souls are still searching for the light,
