Brett plays the song in B without a capo! Only a true rock star writes and plays
in B on guitar. Me--I put the capo on IV and use these chords!
(See the first verse for intro chords.)
Now s not the time to be so
sad and mournful we are
going to the funeral and we ll be
dancing the night away, so so so
don t be so shy we are
living and we re dying, we are
laughing and we re crying
every single day
strange but not
surprising
nor is it unfamiliar, how it takes a
death like this to bring us together
you know you ll always be my
flesh and blood
I could never do you wrong
and the one who was gone for
so long is coming
home
Alright!
Now s not the time to be so
sad and mournful we are
going to the funeral and we ll be
dancing the night away, so, so, so
don t be so shy we are
living and we re dying, we are
laughing and we re crying
every single day
We are getting older at the blink of an eye
so don t let the
moment pass you by
I don t believe there is a
greater love, one that places some pain
in the love between a
mama and her
children
and the procession down to the
lighthouse
we hear the crashing of the
waves, and the mistakes we
made, you know that we are not the only
ones, so we can
have some fun, have some, have some, have some, have some fun
(, , ....., )
Now s not the time to be so
sad and mournful we are
going to the funeral and we ll be
dancing the night away, so so so
don t be so shy we are
living and we re dying, we are
laughing and we re crying
every single day
(Big finish with that G!)
