G Bm C 
Now's not the time to be so 
G Bm C 
sad and mournful we are 
G Bm C 
going to the funeral and we'll be 
 Am    D 
dancing the night away, so so so  
G Bm C 
don't be so shy we are 
G Bm C 
living and we're dying, we are 
G Bm C 
laughing and we're crying 
D 
every single day 

  
Em 
surprising 
nor is it unfamiliar, how it takes a  
G 
death like this to bring us together 
you know you'll always be my  
Em 
flesh and blood 
I could never do you wrong 
and the one who was gone for  
Am 
so long is coming  
D 
home 

Alright! 

G Bm C 
Now's not the time to be so 
G Bm C 
sad and mournful we are

going to the funeral and we'll be 
 Am    D 
dancing the night away, so, so, so 
G Bm C 
don't be so shy we are 
G Bm C 
living and we're dying, we are 
G Bm C 
laughing and we're crying 
D 
every single day 

Em 
We are getting older at the blink of an eye 
so don't let the  
G 
moment pass you by 
I don't believe there is a  
Em 
greater love, one that places some pain 
in the love between a  
Am 
mama and her  
D 
children 
Am 
and the procession down to the  
D 
lighthouse 
Am 
we hear the crashing of the  
D 
waves, and the mistakes we  
Em 
made, you know that we are not the only  
Am 
ones, so we can  
D 
have some fun, have some, have some, have some, have some fun 

(G  Bm C Am D) 

G Bm C 
Now's not the time to be so

sad and mournful we are

going to the funeral and we'll be 
 Am    D 
dancing the night away, so so so  
G Bm C 
don't be so shy we are 
G Bm C 
living and we're dying, we are 
G Bm C 
laughing and we're crying

every single day
