[Verse 1]
G D Em7 Am CA long, long time ago I can still remember how
that music used to make me smile
G D Em7And I knew if I had my chance
Am Cthat I could make those people dance and
maybe they'd be happy for a while.
Em Am Em AmBut February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver
C G Am C DBad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried, when I read about his widowed bride
G D EmBut something touched me deep inside
C D7 G C G DThe day the music died.
So...
ChorusG C G D
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
[Verse 2]
G Am C AmDid you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?
If the Bible tells you so.
G D EmAnd do you believe in Rock 'n Roll?
Am7 CAnd can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em D Em DWell, I know that you're in love with him ‘cause I saw you dancing in the gym
C G A7 C D7You both kicked off your shoes. Man, I dig those rythmny blues.
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck.
G D EmBut I knew I was out of luck
C D7 G C G DThe day the music died I started singin'
Chorus
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
[Verse 3]
G Am C AmNow for ten years we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
Em DBut that's not how it used to be
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
Am7 CIn a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em A7 DAnd a voice that came from you and me
And while the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C G A7 C D7The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G D Em Am CAnd while Lennon read a book of Marx, the court kept practice in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
C D7 G C G DThe day the music died. We were singing
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
Drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
[Verse 4]
Oh, and there we were all in one place a generation lost in space
Em DWith no time left to start again
G D Em Am7 CSo come on, Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
‘cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Em D Em DOh, and as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrifical rite
G D EmI saw Satan laughing with delight
C D7 G C G DThe day the music died and he was singing
Chorus
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
[Verse 5]
G D Em C AmI met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news
Em DBut she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the sacred store where I'd heard the music years before
Em A7 DBut the man there said the music woudn't play
Em D Em DAnd in the streets the children screamed the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken the church bells all were broken
G D Em Am CAnd three men I admire most the father, son and the Holy Ghost
G D EmThey caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died. And they were singing
ChorusG C G D
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
They were singing
Chorus
Bye, bye! Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.
