G C G D So, Bye Bye Miss American Pie G C G D Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry G C G D And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Em A7 Em D7 Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die. G Am C Am 2. Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above? Em D If the Bible tells you so. G D Em Do you believe in Rock 'n Roll? Am C Can music save your mortal soul? Em A D And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Em D Well, I know that you're in love with him Em D 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym C G/B Am You both kicked off your shoes, C D Man, I dig those rhythm and blues G D/F# Em I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck Am C With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.

Now for ten years we've been on our own C Am Em D And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone, but that's not how it used to be G D Em When the jester sang for the King and Queen Am C In a coat he borrowed from James Dean Em A D And a voice that came from you and me Em D Em D Oh, and while the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown C G/B Am C D The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned G D Em Am C And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park G D Em C D7 G C G And we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died. We were singing (Chorus) G Am 4.

G D Em So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Am C Jack Flash sat on a candlestick Em A7 D 'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend Em D Oh, and as I watched him on the stage, Em D My hands were clenched in fists of rage C G/B Am C D No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell G D/F# Em And as the flames climbed high into the night Am C To light the sacrificial rite G D/F# Em C D7 G C G I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died He was singing (Chorus) G D Em Am C I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news Em D But she just smiled and turned away G D Em I went down to the sacred store Am C Where I'd heard the music years before Em A D But the man there said the music wouldn't play Em Am And in the streets the children screamed Em Am The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed C G Am C D But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken G D Em Am C And the three men I ad -mire most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost G D/F# Em They caught the last train for the coast, C D G D The day the music died And they were singing
