Capo: 1st


  G     D    Em7
A long, long time ago,
Am          C                 Em                    D
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
      G         D      Em7
And I knew if I had my chance,
Am                 C                Em              C           D
I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while


Bleepy noises


G                 Am
Did you write the book of love
       C                 Am         Em           D
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
G      D          Em
Do you believe in rock and roll
    Am7             C               
Can music save your mortal soul
    Em               A7                D
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
       Em                  D                     
Well I know that you're in love with him  
       Em              D
'Cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
    C           G        A7          
You both kicked off your shoes
      C                    D7
Man I dig those rhythm and blues
        G      D       Em                   
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
       Am                   C
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
    G      D     Em             
But I knew I was out of luck   
    C       D7    G      C    G
The day the music died

I started singin'



   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   
Singin' this will be the day that I die
Em                          D7
This will be the day that I die


  G              Am
I met a girl who sang the blues
      C                                  
And I asked her for some happy news
    Em                         D
But she just smiled and turned away
  G         D      Em
I went down to the sacred store
          Am              C                     
Where I'd heard the music years before
        Em                 A7
But the man there said the music
         D
Wouldn't play
         Em                 Am                    
Well now in the streets the children screamed
    Em                   Am
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed
    C     G        Am          
But not a word was spoken
    C                     D
The church bells all were broken
        G         D      Em             
And the three men I ad - mire most
    Am7     C            D7
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G               D          Em            
They caught the last train for the coast
C       D7    G      C    G
The day the music died

I started singin'


   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   
Singin' this will be the day that I die
Em                          D7
This will be the day that I die
