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

G              D  
So bye, bye Miss American
