American Pie

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

 G - D - Em7 - C  x4

G                 Am
Did you write the book of love?
       C                 Am
And do you have faith in God above
Em           D
If the Bible tells you so?
G           D          Em
Now, do you believe in rock and 
roll?
        Am7             C
And 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 
with him
         Em              D
'Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
    C           G         A7
You both kicked off your shoes (both
 kicked off your shoes)
       C                    D7
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

        G      D       Em
I was a lonely teenage bronking buck
       Am                   C
With a pink carnation and a pick-up 
truck
    G           D     Em
But I knew that I was out of luck

The day the music died

I started singing

G    C    G             D
Bye, bye, Miss American Pie
         G            C           
Drove my Chevy to the levee but 
  G         D
the levee was dry
     G        C                  
Them good ol' boys were drinking 
G           D
whiskey and rye
         Em                        
Singin': This'll be the day that I 
A7
die
Em                        D7
This'll be the day that I die

  G     D        Em
I met a girl who sang the blues
      Am                 C
And I asked her for some happy news
    Em                         D
But she just smiled and turned away
       G         D      Em
Then I went down to the sacred store
          Am              C
Where I'd heard the music years 
before
        Em                 C   
But the man there said the music 
           D
wouldn't play

          Em                
Well now, in the streets the 
 Am
children screamed (the children 
screamed)
    Em                    Am
The lovers cried, and the poets 
dreamed (the poets dreamed)
    C     G        Am
But not a word was spoken (not a 
word was spoken)
    C                     D
The church bells all were broken
        G         D   Em
And the three men I admire the most
    Am7     C           D7
The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G               D          Em
They caught the last train for the 
coast
Am7         D7    G
The day the music died
