Werbung entfernenG D Em7А long, long time ago,
Am C EmI can still remember how that music
DUsed to make me smile
G D Em7And I know if I had my chance,
Am CThat I could make those people dance
Em C DAnd maybe they'd be happy for a while
Em AmBut February made me shiver,
Em AmWith every paper I'd deliver
C G AmBad news on the doorstep,
C DI couldn't take one more step
G D EmI can't remember if I cried
Am7 DWhen I read about his widowed bride
G D EmSomething touched me deep inside
C D7 G C GThe day the music died
Chorus:
G C G DSo bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7Singin' this will be the day that I die,
Em D7This will be the day that I die
G AmDid you write the book of love
C AmAnd Do you have faith in god above,
Em DIf the bible tells you so?
G D EmDo you believe in rock and roll
Am7 CCan music save your mortal soul
Em A7 DAnd can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em DWell I know that you're in love with him
Em D'Cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
C G A7You both kicked off your shoes,
C D7Man I dig those rhythm and blues
G D EmI was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
Am CWith a pink carnation and a pickup truck
G D Em CBut I knew I was out of luck the day
D7 G C GThe music died, I started singin'
Chorus:
G C G DSo bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7Singin' this will be the day that I die,
Em D7This will be the day that I die
G AmNow for ten years we've been on our own,
C Amand moss grows fat on a rolling stone
Em DBut that's not how it used to be
G D EmWhen the jester sang for the king and queen
Am7 Cin a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em A7 DIn a voice that came from you and me
Em DAnd while the king was looking down,
Em DThe jester stole his thorny crown
C G A7 C D7The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G D EmAnd while Lenin read a book on Marx,
Am CThe quartet practiced in the park
G D Em CAnd we sang dirges in the dark the day
D7 G C GThe music died, we were singin'
Chorus:
G C G DSo bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7Singin' this will be the day that I die,
Em D7This will be the day that I die
G AmHelter skelter in a summer swelter
C AmThe birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Em DEight miles high and fallin' fast
G D EmIt landed foul on the grass
Am7 CThe players tried for a forward pass,
Em A7 DWith the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Em DNow at halftime there was sweet perfume,
Em DWhile sergeants played a marching Tune
C G A7 C D7We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G D Em'Cuz the players tried to take the field,
Am CThe marching band refused to yield
G D Em CDo you recall what was the feel the day
D7 G C GThe music died, we started singin'
Chorus:
G C G DSo bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G DDrove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G DAnd them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7Singin' this will be the day that I die,
Em D7This will be the day that I die
G AmAnd there we were all in one place,
C Am Em DА generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
G D EmSo come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick,
Am7 CJack Flash sat on a candle
Em A7 DStick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
Em DAnd as I watched him on the stage,
Em DMy hands were clenched in fists of rage
C G A7 C D7No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell
G D EmAnd as the flames climbed high into the night
Am CTo light the sacrificial rite
G D Em CI saw Satan laughing with delight the day
D7 G C GThe music died, he was singin'
Chorus:
G D EmI met a girl who sang the blues
Am CAnd I asked her for some happy news,
Em DBut she just smiled and turned away
G D EmI went down to the sacred store
Am CWhere I'd heard the music years before,
Em CBut the man there said the music
DWouldn't play
Em AmBut in the streets the children screamed,
Em AmThe lovers cried and the poets dreamed
C G Am C DBut not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G D EmAnd the three men I admire most,
Am7 C D7The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G D EmThey caught the last train for the coast
Am7 D7 GThe day the music died,
D7And they were singin'
Chorus:
G D EmI met a girl who sang the blues
Am CAnd I asked her for some happy news,
Em DBut she just smiled and turned away
G D EmI went down to the sacred store
Am CWhere I'd heard the music years before,
Em CBut the man there said the music
DWouldn't play
