F long, long time ago
Fm G# Cm A#
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance
Fm G# Cm G# A#
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver

Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step

Did you write the book of love

And do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so?

Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

I was a lonely teenage bronckin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck

D# Fm
Now for ten years we've been on our own
G# Fm Cm A#
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang for the king and queen

in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me

D# Fm
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
G# Fm Cm A#
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
D# A#/D Cm
It landed foul on the grass
Fm7 G# Cm F7 A#
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
G# D#/G F7 G# A#7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
D# A#/D Cm Fm G#m
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
D# A#/D Cm G# A#7 D# G# D# A#
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died, we started singin'
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
D# G# D# A#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
D# G# D# A#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

And there we were all in one place

a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle

stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend

And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell
D# A#/D Cm Fm G#
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
D# A#/D Cm G# A#7 D# G# D# A#
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
[Chorus]
D# G# D# A#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
D# G# D# A#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

I met a girl who sang the blues
Fm G# Cm A#
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
D# A#/D Cm
I went down to the sacred store
Fm G# Cm G#
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music

wouldn't play
Em* Am* Em* Am*
But 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

And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
N.C.
And they were singin'
[Chorus]

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
D# G# D# A#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
D# G# D# A#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* A#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

They were singin' bye, bye Miss American Pie
D# G# D# A#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
D# G# D# A#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
G# A#7 D# G# D#
Singin' this will be the day that I die
