American Pie
Don McLean
G D Em7 Am C
A long long time ago I can still remember
Em D G D Em7
how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance
Am C Em C D Em
that I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
Am Em Am
But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver
C G-B Am C D
Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
G D Em Am7 D
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
G D C D7 G C-G G
But something touched me deep inside The day the Music Died
So
G C G D G C G D
bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levy But the levy was dry
G C G D
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this'll be the day that I die this'll be the day that I die.
G Am C Am
Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above?
Em D G D Em
If the Bible tells you so. Do you be lieve in Rock 'n Roll?
Am7 C Em A7 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 'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
C G-B A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rythmny blues
G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.
G D Em C D7 G C
But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died
I started singin'
chorus
G Am C Am
Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
Em D G D Em
But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King and Queen
Am7 C Em A7 D
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And 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-B A7 C D7
The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned
G D Em Am C
And while Lennon read a book of Marx The court kept practice in the park
G D Em C D7 G C
And we sang dirges in the dark The day the Music Died.
We were singing
chorus
G Am Am C Am
Helter-Skelter in a summer swelter The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
Em D G D Em
Eight Miles High and falling fast It landed foul out on the grass
Am7 C Em A7 D
The players tried for a forward pass But the jester's on the sidelines in a cast
Em D Em D
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sargeants played a marching tune
C G-B A7 C D7
We all got up to dance But we never got the chance
G D Em Am C
'cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield
G D Em C D7 G C G
Do you recall what was reveiled the day the Music Died?
We stared singing
chorus
G Am C Am
Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation Lost in Space
Em D G
With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble
Em Am7 C Em A7 D
Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Em D Em D
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7
No angel born in hell Could break that Satan's spell
G D Em Am C
And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrifical rite
G D Em C D7 G C G
I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the Music Died
He was singing
chorus
G Am C Am
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news
Em D G D
But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store
Em Am7 Em A7 D
Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music woudn't play
Em D Em D
And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
C G A7 C D7
But not a word was spoken The Church bells all were broken
G D Em Am C
And three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G D Em C D7 G C G
They caught the last train for the coast The Day the Music Died.
And they were singing
chorus
They were singing
chorus
