Bye Bye Miss American Pie

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

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

[Chorus]
         C          G
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
          F                  C
Drove my Chevy to the levee
                G       D
But the levee was dry
           C          G
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye
        F                    C
Singing, "This'll be the day that I die
        G       D
This'll be the day that I die"
