Verse 1
G
D
Em
Long, long time ago,
D
Am
I can still remember
Em
D
how the music used to make me smile.
G
D
Em
And I knew if I had my chance,
C
G
Am
that I could make those people dance,
Em
D
and maybe they'd be happy for a while.
Em
D
But February made me shiver
Em
D
with every paper I de liver.
G
Am
Bad news on the doorstep.
C
D
I couldn't take one more step.
Em
I can't remember if I cried
C
G

when I read about his widowed bride,
G
D

But something touched me deep inside
C
D
G
the day the music died.
C
G
D
So bye -bye, Miss American Pie,
G
Drove my Chevy to the levee,
C
G
D
but the levee was dry.
G
C
Them good old boys
G

were drinking whiskey and rye,
Em
D
singing, this'll be the day that I die.
Em
D
This'll be the day that I die.
G
D
Em
Did you write the book of love,
C
G
Am
and do you have faith in God above,
Em
D
if the Bible tells you so?
G
D
Em
And do you believe in rock and roll?
C
G
Am
Can music save your mortal soul?
Em
And can you teach me how
Em
D
Well I know that you're in love with him
Em
D
cause I saw you dancing in the gym
C
G
Am
You're both kicked off your shoes
C
D
But I dig those rhythm and blues
G
D
Em
I was a lonely teenage bronkin' buck
C
G
Am
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
G
D
Em
But I knew I was out
D
G
C
G
D
The mu sic died I was singin'

This'll be the day that I die
G
Now for ten years we've
C
G
Am
And moss grows fast on a rolling stone
Em
D
That's not how it used to be
G
D
When the jester sang for
C
G
Am
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em
D
And a voice that came from you and me
Em
D
And while the king was looking down
Em
D
The jester stole his thorny crown
C
Am
That cartoon was adjourned
C
D
Now Ferdig was returned
G

The quartet practiced in the park
G

Miss American Box

whiskey and rye
Em
D
Singing, this'll be the day that I die

I met a girl who sang the blues
C
G

And I asked her for some happy news
A
Em

But she just smiled and turned away
G
D
Em
So I went down to the sacred store,
D

where I'd heard the mu

but the man there said
D
the music wouldn't play.
Em
D
In the street the children screamed,
G
D

but not a word was spoken,
C

the church bells all were broken.
G

And the three that I admire most,

Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,
