G D Em
A long, long time ago,
Am C
I can still remember,
Em D
how that music used to make me smile.
G D Em
And I knew if I had my chance,
Am C
that I could make those people dance,
Em C D
and maybe theyʼd by happy for a while.
Em Am
But February made me shiver,
Em Am
with every paper Iʼd deliver.
C G Am
Bad news on the doorstep;
C D
I couldnʼt take one more step
G D Em
I canʼt remember if I cried,
C D
when I read about his widowed bride;
G D Em
something touched me deep inside,
C D G
the day the music died.
Chorus: G C G D
So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
G Am
Did you write the book of love,
C Am
and do you have faith in God above,
Em D
if the Bible tells you so?
G Em
Now do you believe in rock and roll,
Am C
can music save your mortal soul?
Em A D
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em D
Well I know that youʼre in love with him,
Em D
ʼcause I saw you dancing in the gym
C Am
You both kicked off your shoes,
C D
man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G Em
I was a lonely teenage bronching buck,
Am C
with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
G Em
But I knew I was out of luck
C D G C
the day, the music died.
G D
I started singing....
Chorus:G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
G Am
Now for ten years, weʼve been on our own;
C Am
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
Em D
but thatʼs not how it used to be.
G Em
When the jester sang for the King and
Am C
Queen, in a coat he borrowed from James Dean,
Em A D
and a voice that came from you and me
Em D
Oh, and while the king was looking down,
Em D
the jester stole his thorny crown;
C Am
the court room was adjourned,
C D
no verdict was returned.
G Em
And while Lennon read a book on Marx,
Am C
the quartet practiced in the park;
G Em
and we sang dirges in the dark,
C D G C
the day the music died,
G D
we were singing
Chorus:G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
G Am
Helter skelter in the summer swelter,
C Am
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter;
Em D
eight miles high and falling fast.
G Em
It landed foul on the grass,
Am C
the players tried for a forward pass;
Em A D
with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em D
The half time air was sweet perfume,
Em D
while the sergeants played a marching tune;
C Am
we all got up to dance,
C D
but we never got the chance.
G Em
ʼCause the players tried to take the field,
Am C
but the marching band refused to yield
G Em
Do you recall what was revealed,
C D G C
the day the music died?
G D
We started singing
Chorus:G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
G Am
Oh, and there we were all in one place,
C Am
a generation lost in space;
Em D
with no time left, to start again.
G Em
So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
Am C
Jack flash sat on a candlestick,
Em A D
ʼcause fire is the devilʼs only friend.
Em D
And as I watched him on the stage,
Em D
my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
C Am
No angel born in hell,
C D
could break that Satan’s spell
G Em
And as the flames climbed high into the night,
Am C
to light the sacrificial rite;
G Em
I saw Satan laughing with delight,
C D G C
the day the music died.
G D
We were singing
Chorus:G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
G D Em
I met a girl who sang the blues so,
Am C
I asked her for some happy news;
Em D
but she just smiled and turned away.
G D Em
I went down to the sacred store,
Am C
where I heard the music years before,
Em C D
but the man there said the music wouldnʼt play.
Em Am
And in the streets the children screamed,
Em Am
the lovers cried and the poets dreamed.
C G Am
But not a word was spoken,
C D
the church bells all were broken.
G D Em
And the three men I admire most:
Am D
the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G D Em
They caught the last train for the coast
C D G
the day, the music died.
D
And they were singing
Chorus:G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die,
Em D
thisʼll be the day that I die.
D
And they were singing
G C G D
Bye-bye, Miss American Pie,
G C
drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C
levee was dry. Them good ole boys
G D
were drinking whiskey and rye, singing
Em A
thisʼll be the day that I die
