                  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 know if I had my chance,
             Am                                            C                                         Em                                    C                            D  
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
          Em                 Am                                                 Em                         Am  
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
C                    G              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                         Em  
Something touched me deep inside
          C                 D7         G      C      G  
The day the music died
*Chorus *
        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      Em                                                                    D7  
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
   *Verse *
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
                                             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    'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
          C                            G                    A7                            C                                                    D7  
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and 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    G  
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
*Chorus *
     G            D                    Em  
I met a girl who sang the blues
                Am                                            C                                      Em                                                                    D  
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
     G                      D              Em  
I went down to the sacred store
                          (G)                                 (Am)    (G)                                 (C)                                         (Em)
                          Am                                    C                                                      Em                                            C  
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
                        D  
wouldn't play
          Em                                            Am                                                      Em                                                 Am  
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets
dreamed
          C            G                    Am                         C                                                      D  
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
                                                                                                  (G)
                     G                      D      Em                                 Am7            C                              D7  
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G                                      D                         Em                                         Am7            D7         G  
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
D7  
And they were singin'
*Final Chorus *
        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
                     C                                         D7                      G      C      G  
Singin' this will be the day that I die.
