Note: when he plays the Em7 and the Cadd9, you can hear a slight hammer on thing
going on in the background.. All that is.. is:
e|--3-------3--3-------3-----------------------------------------------|
B|--3-------3--3-------3-----------------------------------------------|
G|--0-------0--0-------0-----------------------------------------------|
D|--2-0h2p0-0--2-0h2p0-0-----------------------------------------------|
A|--2-------2--3-------3-----------------------------------------------|
E|--0-------0--0-------0-----------------------------------------------|
So it's strum chord once, then hammer 0h2 and then pull off and strum the chord a
few times with an open D string. Listen carefully and you'll hear what i'm on
about!!! Promise!

[Em]We celebrate the lives of the dea[C]d,

While their [G]souls are still searching for the l[D/F]ight,

Searching for the light.
