Don Mclean - American Pie
[Verse (First)]
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 they'd be happy for a while.
Em - Am - But February made me shiver
Em - Am - with every paper I'd deliver.
C G Am - Bad news on the doorstep.
C - D - I couldn't take one more step.
G D Em - I can't 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 - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Verse (Fast)]
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 D Em - Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Am - C - Can music save your mortal soul?
Em - A7 - D --- and can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em - D - Well I know that you're in love with him
Em - D - 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym,
C G A7 - You both kicked off your shoes,
C - D7 - Man I dig those rhythm and blues!
G D Em - I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck,
Am - C - with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck.
G D Em - But I knew I was out of luck
C - D - G C G D the day, the music died. I started singing
[Chorus]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Verse (Fast)]
G - Am - Now for ten years, we've been on our own
C - Am - and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
Em - D --- But that's not how it used to be.
G D Em - Cause when the jester sang for the King & Queen
Am - C - in a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em - A7 - 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 G A7 - the court room was adjourned
C - D7 - no verdict was returned.
G D Em - And while Lennon read a book on Marx
Am - C - the quartet practiced in the park
G D Em - and we sang dirges in the dark
C - D - G C G D the day the music died. I started singin'
[Chorus]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Verse (Fast)]
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 D Em - It landed foul on the grass
Am - C - he players tried for a forward pass
Em - A7 - D --- with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em - D - The half time air was sweet perfume
Em - D - while the seargeants played a marching tune
C G A7 - we all got up to dance
C - D7 - but we never got the chance.
G D Em - 'Cause the players tried to take the field,
Am - C - but the marching band refused to yield
G D Em - Do you recall what was revealed
C - D - G C G D the day the music died. I started singin'
[Chorus]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Verse (Fast)]
G - Am - 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 D Em - So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
Am - C - Jack flash sat on a candlestick.
Em - A7 - D --- 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend.
Em - D - And as I watched him on the stage
Em - D - my hands were clenched in fists of rage.
C G A7 - no angel born in hell
C - D7 - could break that satan's spell
G D Em - And as the flames climbed high into the night
Am - C - to light the sacrificial rite
G D Em - I saw Satan laughing with delight,
C - D - G C G D the day the music died. We were singin'
[Chorus]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Verse (Last)]
G D Em - I met a girl who sang the blues
Am - C - so 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 wouldn't play.
Em - D - And in the streets the children screamed,
Em - D - 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:
C - 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. And they were singing
[Chorus]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
Em --- A7 --- singing this'll be the day that I die,
Em --- D --- ---- This'll be the day that I die.
[Chorus (Last)]
G - C - G - D - So bye-bye, Miss American Pie.
G - C - G - D - Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry,
G - C - G - D - them good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and Rye,
C - D - G C G --- singing this'll be the day that I die.
