**Chords:**
[Verse]
G             Em
A long, long time ago
F                  C
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
G                Em
And I knew if I had my chance
F                C
That I could make those people dance
G                  Em
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
F                    C
But February made me shiver
G                   Em
With every paper I delivered
F                  C
Bad news on the doorstep
G                   Em
I couldn't take one more step
F                     C
I can't remember if I cried
G                   Em
When I read about his widowed bride
F                      C
But something touched me deep inside
G       F     C
The day the music died

[Chorus]
G           F
So bye, bye Miss American
