Verse
G# D#/G Fm7
A# long, long time ago
A#m C# Fm D#
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
G# D#/G Fm7
And I knew if I had my chance
A#m C# Fm C# D#
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
Fm A#m Fm A#m
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
C# G#/C A#m C# D#
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
G# D#/G Fm A#m7 D#
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
G# D#/G Fm
Something touched me deep inside
C# D#7 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 levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 2]
G# A#m
Did you write the book of love
C# A#m Fm D#
And do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so?
G# D#/G Fm
Do you believe in rock and roll
A#m7 C# Fm A#7 D#
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em* D* Em* D*
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
C# G#/C A#m C# D#7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
G# D#/G Fm A#m C#
I was a lonely teenage bronckin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
G# D#/G Fm C# D#7 G# C# G# D#
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
[Chorus]
G# C# G# D#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 3]
G# A#m
Now for ten years we've been on our own
C# A#m Fm D#
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
G# D#/G Fm
When the jester sang for the king and queen
A#m7 C# Fm A#7 D#
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Em* D* Em* D*
Oh, and while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C# G#/C A#7 C# D#7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G# D#/G Fm A#m C#
And while Lennin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
G# D#/G Fm C# D#7 G# C# G# D#
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'
[Chorus]
G# C# G# D#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 4]
G# A#m
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
C# A#m Fm D#
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
G# D#/G Fm
It landed foul on the grass
A#m7 C# Fm A#7 D#
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em* D* Em* D*
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
C# G#/C A#7 C# D#7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G# D#/G Fm A#m C#m
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
G# D#/G Fm C# D#7 G# C# G# D#
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died, we started singin'
[Chorus]
G# C# G# D#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 5]
G# A#m
And there we were all in one place
C# A#m Fm D#
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
G# D#/G Fm A#m7 C#
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
Fm A#7 D#
stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
Em* D* Em* D*
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage
C# G#/C A#7 C# D#7
No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell
G# D#/G Fm A#m C#
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
G# D#/G Fm C# D#7 G# C# G# D#
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
[Chorus]
G# C# G# D#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 6]
G# D#/G Fm
I met a girl who sang the blues
A#m C# Fm D#
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
G# D#/G Fm
I went down to the sacred store
A#m C# Fm C#
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
D#
wouldn't play
Em* Am* Em* Am*
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
C# G#/C A#m C# D#
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G# D#/G Fm A#m7 C# D#7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G# D#/G Fm C# D#7 G#
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
N.C.
And they were singin'
[Chorus]
G# C# G# D#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* D#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
G# C# G# D#
They were singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
G# C# G# D#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G# C# G# D#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
C# D#7 G# C# G#
Singin' this will be the day that I die
