American Pie Don Mclean

**Chords:**
      G       Em      C       D       F       C       G

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

**Chorus:**
         G       Em
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
       C                    D
Drove my Chevy to the levee
                F               C
But the levee was dry
         G       Em
And them good ole boys
             C             D
Were drinking whiskey 'n rye
                    G            Em
Singin' "This'll be the day that I die
          C            D
This'll be the day that I die"
