G5 D5 E5
A long, long time ago__
A5 C5 E5 D5
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.__
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
E5 C5 D5
and maybe they'd by happy for a while.
E5 A5 E5 A5
But February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver.
C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
Bad news on the doorstep. I couldn't take one more step
G5 D5 E5 A5 D5
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride,
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
Something touched me deep inside the day_ the music died._____
Chorus:
G5 C5 G5 D5 G5 C5
. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.Drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G5 D5 G5 C5 G5 D5
. levee was dry, them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing
E5 A5 E5 D5
. this'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die.__
verse:
G5 A5 , C5 A5
Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?__
E5 D5 G5 D5 E5
If the Bible tells you so__ Now do you believe in rock and roll?
A5 C5 E5 A5 D5
Can music save your mortal soul? and can you teach me how to dance_ real slow?
E5 A5 E5 A5
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym ,
_ C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
You both kicked off your shoes, Man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
But I knew I was out of luck the day, the music died.___
G5 D5
I started singing.... (chorus)
G5 A5 , C5 A5
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
E5 D5 G5 D5 E5
But that's not how it used to be.Cause when the jester sang for the King &
Queen
A5 C5 E5 A5 D5
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me__
E5 A5 E5 A5
Oh and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown
_ C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
the court room was adjourned no verdict was returned.
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
And while Lennon read a book on Marx the quartet practiced in the park
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
and we sang dirges in the dark the day__ the music died__
G5 D5
I started singin' (chorus)
Chorus:
G5 C5 G5 D5 G5 C5
. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.Drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G5 D5 G5 C5 G5 D5
. levee was dry, them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing
E5 A5 E5 D5
. this'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die.__
.
G5 A5 , C5 A5
Helter skelter in the summer swelter_ the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
E5 D5 G5 D5 E5
Eight miles high and falling fast__ it landed foul on the grass
A5 C5 E5 A5 D5
The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast_
E5 A5 E5 A5
The half time air was sweet perfume while the seargeants played a marching tune
_ C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
we all got up to dance___ but we never got the chance. 'Cause
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
the players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
Do you recall what was revealed _____ the day the music died.
G5 D5
I started singin' (chorus)
.
G5 A5 , C5 A5
And there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space.
E5 D5 G5 D5 E5
With no time left, to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
A5 C5 E5 A5 D5
Jack flash sat on a candlestick. 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
E5 A5 E5 A5
And as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
no angel born in hell__ could break that satan's spell
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
I_ saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died.
G5 D5
we were singin' (chorus)
.
G5 D5 E5
I met a girl who sang the blues so
A5 C5 E5 D5
I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled__ and turned away.
G5 D5 E5 A5 C5
I went down to the sacred store. Where I heard the music years before.__
E5 C5 D5
But the man there said the music wouldn't play.__ And
E5 A5 E5 A5
in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
C5 G5 A5 C5 D5
But not a word was spoken.__ The church__ bells_ all_ were_ broken.
G5 D5 E5 A5 D5
And the three men I admire most: the father, Son and the Holy Ghost__
G5 D5 E5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
They caught the last train for the coast the day, the music died.
G5 D5 C5 D5 G5 C5 G5
And they were singing:(chorus twice, ending: this'll be the day that I die)
