D ^D ^D ^D B-G
A long long time ago

^C B ^C ^C-B-A G
I can still remember how

F# G-F# G F# G F# D
That music used to make me smile

D ^D ^D ^D ^D ^D ^D ^E G
And I knew if I had my chance

G A B ^C B A - B ^C
That I could make those people dance

A G - E G E G - E G B A
And maybe they'd be happy for a while

E B-B-B-B ^C B G-A
But February made me shiver

B B-B B-B ^C B-G-E
With every paper I'd deliver

G F# G F# E - G
Bad news on the doorstep

A G - A B ^E ^D B
I couldn't take one more step

B ^E ^D-^D-B ^C B G
I can't remember if I cried

E E A B-^C B A - B ^C
When I read about his widowed bride

B - B B B B B-A-G
Something touched me deep inside

E E G ^C-B G
The day the music died

D ^D ^C ^C B-B-A-G A
So bye-bye Miss American Pie

^D ^D ^D-^D ^D ^C ^C-^C
Drove my Chevy to the levee

^C B B-A G D
But the levee was dry

^D ^D ^D ^C
Them good old boys

^C ^C - B B - A G A
Were drinking whiskey and rye

B - A G - E G E G F# E A
Singin' this'll be the day that I die

G - E G E G F# E E-D
This'll be the day that I die...

^D ^E ^D ^D ^D ^C B-A
Did you write the book of love

A B ^C B ^C B ^C B-G-A
And do you have faith in God above

G G G-F# G F# D
If the Bible tells you so?

^D ^E ^D-^D-B B ^D ^D ^D-^E
Do you believe in rock and roll?

B ^D-^C ^D ^C B-A ^D-^C
Can music save your mortal soul?

B G E G E
And can you teach me

G E G B B-^C-B-A-B
How to dance real slow ~ ?

B ^C ^E B B B ^C B ^D
Well, I know that you're in love with him

^C B ^E B B-B ^C B ^D
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym

B ^C B A-G G B-A
You both kicked off your shoes

^G ^G ^G ^G ^G-^G ^A ^F#-^D
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues

^B ^G ^E ^G-^D
I was a lonely

^D-^D-B ^D-^D ^E
Teenage broncin ' buck

B B A B-^C-A
With a pink carnation

^C B ^D-B A-B
And a pickup truck

B B ^G-^E ^D ^D ^D-^E ^D B
But I knew I was out of luck

G G B ^C-B G
The day the music died

^D ^D-^D ^E-^D
I started singin'

^D ^C ^C B-B-A-G A
Bye, bye Miss American Pie

^D ^D ^D-^D ^D ^C ^C-^C
Drove my Chevy to the levee

^C B B-A G D
But the levee was dry

^D ^D ^D ^C
Them good old boys

^C ^C - B B - A G A
Were drinking whiskey and rye

B-A G - E G E G F# E A
Singin' this'll be the day that I die

G - E G E G F# E E-D
This'll be the day that I die....
