Verse:
C            G             Em      D
The kids are in town for a funeral
C           G                Em   D
So pack the car and dry your eyes
C               G         Em                  D
I know they got plenty of young blood left in ʼem
C          G                 Em
And plenty nights under pink skies
    D                  C G Em D
You taught ʼem to enjoy

C            G                Em
So clean the house, clear the drawers
        D
Mop the floors, stand tall
C             G         Em
Like no oneʼs ever been here
       D
Before or at all
C             G               Em
And donʼt you mention all the inches
         D
That are scraped on the doorframe
C      G           Em
We all know you tiptoed
        D         D
Up to 4ʼ1 back in ʼ08

Chorus:
C                    Em            D
If you could see ʼem now, youʼd be proud
          G
But youʼd think theyʼs yuppiеs
C            Em        D
Your funeral was beautiful
          G              C Em D G C Em D
I bet God hеard you coming

 And the grass smells the same as the day you broke your arm swinging
C            G          Em    D
 On that kid out on the river
C               G                 Em
You bailed them out, never said a thing
                   D
About Jesus or the way heʼs livinʼ

Chorus:
C                    Em            D
If you could see ʼem now, youʼd be proud

Your funeral was beautiful
D         Em
I bet God heard you cominʼ
