A long, long time ago__
Am C Em DI can still remember how that music used to make me smile.__
G D Em Am CAnd I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance
and maybe they'd by 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 Em C D7 G C GSomething touched me deep inside the day_ the music died._____
Chorus. So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.Drove my Chevy to the levee but the
G D G C G D. levee was dry, them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing
Em A7 Em D7. this'll be the day that I die, This'll be the day that I die.__
verse:
G Am, C Am
Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?__
If the Bible tells you so__ Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Am C Em A7 D7Can music save your mortal soul? and can you teach me how to dance_ real slow?
Em Am Em AmWell I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym,
You both kicked off your shoes, Man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G D Em Am CI was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
G D Em C D7 G C GBut I knew I was out of luck the day, the music died.___
I started singing.... (chorus)
. G Am, C Am
Now for ten years, we've been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
Em D G D EmBut that's not how it used to be.Cause when the jester sang for the King &
Queen
Am C Em A7 D7in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me__
Em Am Em AmOh and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown
the court room was adjourned no verdict was returned.
G D Em Am CAnd while Lennon read a book on Marx the quartet practiced in the park
G D Em C D7 G C Gand we sang dirges in the dark the day__ the music died__
I started singin' (chorus)

Helter skelter in the summer swelter_ the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast__ it landed foul on the grass
Am C Em A7 D7The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast_
Em Am Em AmThe half time air was sweet perfume while the seargeants played a marching tune
we all got up to dance___ but we never got the chance. 'Cause
G D Em Am Cthe players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C GDo you recall what was revealed _____ the day the music died.
I started singin' (chorus)
. G Am, C Am
And there we were all in one place, A generation lost in space.
Em D G D EmWith no time left, to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
Am C Em A7 D7Jack flash sat on a candlestick. 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
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
G D Em Am CAnd as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
I_ saw Satan laughing with delight, the day the music died.
G D7we were singin' (chorus)
G D EmI met a girl who sang the blues so
Am C Em DI asked her for some happy news but she just smiled__ and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store. Where I heard the music years before.__
Em C DBut the man there said the music wouldn't play.__ And
Em Am Em Amin 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 Am7 DAnd the three men I admire most: the father, Son and the Holy Ghost__
G D Em C D7 G C GThey caught the last train for the coast the day, the music died.
And they were singing:(chorus twice, ending: this'll be the day that I die)
