**Chords:**
[Verse]
      D            A                Bm
A long, long time ago I can still remember 
       G                D              A
How that music used to make me smile 
       D               A               Bm
And I knew if I had my chance 
              G               D              A
That I could make those people dance 
              G            A             D
And maybe they'd be happy for a while 

      D              A             Bm
But February made me shiver 
         G                D              A
With every paper I'd deliver 
         D                A                 Bm
Bad news on the doorstep 
           G                D              A
I couldn't take one more step 
         G                 A               D
I can't remember if I cried 
           G            A              D
When I read about his widowed bride 
            G              A                D
But something touched me deep inside 
        A                 D
The day the music died 

**Chorus**
           A                Bm
So bye, bye Miss American Pie 
           G                   D             A
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry 
          D                     A
And them good old
