G    D/F# Em       Am            C
A long long time ago i can still remember
           Em                     D
how that music used to make me smile
    G         D/F#   Em
And i knew if i had my chance
     Am             C
That i could make those people dance
     Em               C            D
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
Em            Am            Em                Am
but february made me shiver with every paper i'd deliver
C         G/B      Am         C                    D
bad news on the doorstep, i couldnt take one more step
G          D/F#         Em          C                D
i cant remember if i cried when i read about his widowed bride
     G           D/F#     Em              C        D      G
and somehting touched me deep inside the day the music died


G    C        G        D
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 good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
           Em                     A7
singing this'll be the day that i die
Em                         D7
this'll be the day that i die

About this song: American Pie

"American Pie" is a folk rock song by singer-songwriter Don McLean. Recorded and released on the American Pie album in 1971, the single was a number-one U.S. hit for four weeks in 1972. A re-release in 1991 did not chart in the U.S., but reached number 12 in the UK. The song is an abstract story surrounding "The Day the Music Died" -- the 1959 plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (Giles Perry Richardson, Jr.).
