C# long, long time ago
C#m E G#m F#
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance
C#m E G#m E F#
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
G#m C#m G#m C#m

Did you write the book of love
E C#m G#m F#
And do you have faith in God above, if the bible tells you so?

Do you believe in rock and roll
C#m7 E G#m C#7 F#
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
E B/D# C#m E F#7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues

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

B C#m
Now for ten years we've been on our own

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
C#m7 E G#m C#7 F#
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me

Bye, bye Miss American Pie
B E B F#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

B C#m
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
E C#m G#m F#
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
B F#/A# G#m
It landed foul on the grass
C#m7 E G#m C#7 F#
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
E B/D# C#7 E F#7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
B F#/A# G#m C#m Em
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
B F#/A# G#m E F#7 B E B F#
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died, we started singin'
[Chorus]
B E B F#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
B E B F#
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
B E B F#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em* A7* Em* F#7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

B C#m
And there we were all in one place
E C#m G#m F#
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
B F#/A# G#m C#m7 E
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle

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

No angel born in Hell could break that Satan's spell
B F#/A# G#m C#m E
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
B F#/A# G#m E F#7 B E B F#
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
[Chorus]
B E B F#
Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
B E B F#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

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

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

B F#/A# G#m E F#7 B
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
N.C.
And they were singin'
[Chorus]

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
B E B F#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

B E B F#
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
E F#7 B E B
Singin' this will be the day that I die
