American Pie Easy Guitar

**Chords:**
G  |  Em  |  C  |  D  |  G

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

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