Chorus:
         Cm
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
    G
The body is gone

Cm
Close your eyes
And bow your head
To rest your soul
         G         Cm
And to praise the dead

Chorus

 Cm
Dry your eyes
And stand up right
Put a smile on your face
            G          Cm
He wouldnt want us to cry

     G
The sun will rise
The stars will shine
        Fm
Turning day to dusk
    Cm
And night to dawn
 G
We'll pass on
But until that time

         Cm
Say Hallelujah
     Cm   G Cm
Hallelujah
         Cm
Say Hallelujah
     Cm   G Cm
Hallelujah

Chorus

Have mercy
It's a wonderful life
Eternal rest for the weary
Mourners party tonight

Chorus

Wave your hands
But don't say goodbye
We're all gonna meet you
On the other side...
