American Pie
E|-------------------------| 

[Verse]
  G     D    Em7
A long, long time ago,
Am            C                
I can still remember how that 
Em                   D
music used to make me smile
    G      D    Em7
And I know if I had my chance,
     Am                 C         
That I could make those people 
       Em              C           
dance and maybe they'd be happy for 
D
a while
    Em       Am                   
But February made me shiver, with 
Em          Am
every paper I'd deliver
C        G      Am          C  
Bad news on the doorstep, I 
                    D
couldn't take one more step
  G          D        Em          
I can't remember if I cried when I
 Am7            D
 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            
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the 
G        D
levy was dry
         G        C               
And them good old boys were 
   G           D
drinkin' whiskey and rye

        Em                         
Singin' this will be the day that I
 A7   Em                          
 die, this will be the day that I 
D7
die

[Verse]
G                 Am
Did you write the book of love
       C                 Am       
And do you have faith in god 
  Em           D
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             
and can you teach me how to dance 
   D
real slow?
       Em                  D      
Well I know that you're in love 
               Em              D
with him  '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' 
           Am                   C
buck with a pink carnation and a 
pickup truck
    G      D     Em              
But I knew I was out of luck the 
C       D7    G  C  G
day the music died, I started 
singin'

[Verse]
  G     D        Em
I met a girl who sang the blues
      Am                 C        
And I asked her for some happy 
       Em                          
news, but she just smiled and turned
D
 away
  G         D      Em
I went down to the sacred store
          (G)             (Am)  
(G)             (C)               
 (Em)
          Am              C   
Where I'd heard the music years 
                  Em               
before, but the man there said the 
  C
music
         D
wouldn't play
    Em                 Am     
But in the streets the children 
                Em                 
screamed, the lovers cried and the 
  Am
poets dreamed
    C     G        Am       
But not a word was spoken, the 
   C                     D
church bells all were broken
                                    
 (G)
        G         D   Em         
And the three men I admire most, 
    Am7     C            D7
the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G               D          Em   
They caught the last train for 
             Am7     D7    G
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            
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the 
G        D
levy was dry
         G        C               
And them good old boys were 
   G           D
drinkin' whiskey and rye
        C                D7       
Singin' this will be the day that 
  G   C   G
I die
