[Verse]
A Glong, Dlong Em7time agoAmI can still reCmember how that Emmusic used to make me DsmileAnd
GI knewD if I hadEm7 my chanceThat
AmI could make thoseC people danceAnd
Em maybe they'd beC happy for aD while[Verse]
EmBut February Ammade me shiverEmWith every paperAm I'd deliverCBad news Gon the AmdoorstepI
Ccouldn't take oDne more stepI
Gcan't reDmember if I EmcriedWhen
Am7I read about his Dwidowed brideBut
Gsomething Dtouched me Emdeep insideThe
Cday the D7music GdiedC G[Chorus]
So Gbye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Verse]
GDid you write the Ambook of loveAnd do
Cyou have faith in AmGod aboveEmIf the BibleD tells you so?Now do
Gyou beDlieve in Emrock and roll?Can
Am7music save your Cmortal soul?And
Em can you teach meA7 how to dance Dreal slow?[Verse]
Well, IEm know that you're in Dlove with him'Cause I
Em saw you dancin' Din the gymYou
Cboth kickedG off yourA7 shoesMan, I
C dig those rhythm andD7 bluesI was a
GlonelyD teenageEm broncin' buckWith a
Am pink carnation and aC pickup truckBut
G I knewD I wasEm out of luckThe
Cday theD7 music GdiedC GGI started singing[Chorus]
GBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Verse]
GNow for ten years we've beenAm on our ownAnd
C moss grows fat on aAm rollin' stoneEmBut that's not how it Dused to beWhen the
Gjester Dsang for the Emking and queenIn a
Am7coat he borrowed Cfrom James DeanAnd a
Em voice thatA7 came from Dyou and me[Verse]
Oh, and Emwhile the king was Dlooking downThe
Emjester stole his Dthorny crownThe
CcourtroomG was adA7journedCNo verdict was reD7turnedAnd while
GLennon Dread a Embook of MarxThe
Amquartet practiced Cin the parkAnd
Gwe sang Ddirges Emin the darkThe
Cday the D7music GdiedC GGWe were singing[Chorus]
GBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Verse]
GHelter skelter in aAm summer swelterThe
Cbirds flew off with aAm fallout shelterEmEight miles high andD falling fastIt
Glanded Dfoul Emon the grassThe
Am7players tried Cfor a forward passWith the
Emjester A7on the sidelines Din a cast[Verse]
Now the Emhalf-time air was Dsweet perfumeWhile the
Emsergeants played a Dmarching tuneCWe all Ggot up to A7danceOh, but we
Cnever got the D7chance!`Cause the
Gplayers Dtried to Emtake the fieldThe
Ammarching band reCfused to yieldGDo you recDall, what Emwas revealedThe
Cday the D7music Gdied?C GGWe started singing[Chorus]
GBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Verse]
GOh, and there we were all Amin one placeA
Cgeneration Amlost in spaceEmWith no time left to Dstart againSo come on:
GJack be nimble, EmJack be quickJack
Am7Flash sat on a Ccandlestick´Cause
Em fire is theA7 devil's only Dfriend[Verse]
Oh, and Emas I watched him Don the stageMy
Emhands were clenched in Dfists of rageCNo angel Gborn in A7hellCould
Cbreak that Satan'sD7 spellAnd as the
Gflames climbed Dhigh inEmto the nightTo
Amlight the sacrCificial riteI saw
GSatan Dlaughing Emwith delightThe
Cday the D7music GdiedC GGHe was singing[Chorus]
GBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Verse]
I Gmet a girl, who sang the AmbluesAnd I
Casked her for some Amhappy newsBut
Emshe just smiled and turnedD awayI
Gwent down Dto the sEmacred storeWhere, I'd
Amheard the music Cyears beforeBut the
Emman there said, the A7music wouldn't Dplay[Verse]
And Emin the streets the Amchildren screamedThe
Emlovers cried, and the Ampoets dreamedCBut not a Gword was A7spokenThe
Cchurch bells all wereD7 brokenAnd the
Gthree men, DI admEmire mostThe
Amfather, Cson and the D7holy ghostThey
Gcaught the Dlast train Emfor the coastThe
Cday the D7music GdiedC GGAnd they were singing[Chorus]
GBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Emthis'll be the day that I A7dieEmThis'll be the day that I D7die[Chorus]
They were singingGBye, Cbye, Miss AGmerican DPieDrove my
GChevy to the Clevee but the Glevee was DdryAnd them
Ggood oldCboys were drinking Gwhiskey andDryeSingin'
Cthis'll be the D7day that I GdieC G
