A long, long time ago,
LAm DO MIm REI can still remember how that music used to make me smile
SOL RE MIm7And I know if I had my chance,
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
MIm LAm MIm LAmBut February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
DO SOL LAm DO REBad 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
SOL RE MImSomething touched me deep inside
DO RE7 SOL DO SOLThe day the music died
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
SOL DO SOL REAnd them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
MIm LA7 MIm RE7Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
*Verse*
SOL LAmDid you write the book of love
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
SOL RE MImDo you believe in rock and roll
LAm7 DO MIm LA7 RECan 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
DO SOL LA7 DO RE7You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
SOL RE MIm LAm DOI was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
*Other verses*
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
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
It landed foul on the grass
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in
a cast
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching
tune
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'
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 bread that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
*Last verse*
SOL RE MIm
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
SOL RE MImI went down to the sacred store

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