__ Or Blank To __

NA long long time ago
EI can still remember how
VThat music used to make me smile
EAnd I knew if I had my chance
RThat I could make those people dance
GAnd maybe they'd be happy for a while

OBut February made me shiver
NWith every paper I'd deliver
NBad news on the doorstep
AI couldn't take one more step

GI can't remember if I cried
IWhen I read about his widowed bride
VSomething touched me deep inside
EThe day the music died
YSo

OBye, bye Miss American Pie
UDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
UAnd them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
PSingin' this'll be the day that I die
NThis'll be the day that I die

EDid you write the book of love
VAnd do you have faith in God above
EIf the Bible tells you so?
RDo you believe in rock and roll?
GCan music save your mortal soul?
OAnd can you teach me how to dance real slow?

NWell, I know that you're in love with him
N'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
AYou both kicked off your shoes
LMan, I dig those rhythm and blues

EI was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
TWith a pink carnation and a pickup truck
YBut I knew I was out of luck
OThe day the music died
UI started singin'

DBye, bye Miss American Pie
ODrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
WAnd them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
NSingin' this'll be the day that I die
NThis'll be the day that I die

ENow, for ten years we've been on our own
VAnd moss grows fat on a rolling stone
EBut, that's not how it used to be

RWhen the jester sang for the king and queen
GIn a coat he borrowed from James Dean
OAnd a voice that came from you and me

NOh and while the king was looking down
NThe jester stole his thorny crown
AThe courtroom was adjourned
RNo verdict was returned

UAnd while Lennon read a book on Marx
NThe quartet practiced in the park
AAnd we sang dirges in the dark
RThe day the music died
OWe were singin'

UBye, bye Miss American Pie
NDrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
DThem good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
AAnd singin' this'll be the day that I die
NThis'll be the day that I die

    embrace the confusion

    DHelter skelter in a summer swelter
    DThe birds flew off with a fallout shelter
    EEight miles high and falling fast

    SIt landed foul on the grass
    EThe players tried for a forward pass
    RWith the jester on the sidelines in a cast

    TNow the half-time air was sweet perfume
    YWhile sergeants played a marching tune
    OWe all got up to dance
    UOh, but we never got the chance

    N'Cause the players tried to take the field
    EThe marching band refused to yield
    VDo you recall what was revealed
    EThe day the music died?
    RWe started singin'

    GBye, bye Miss American Pie
    ODrove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
    NThem good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
    NAnd singin' this'll be the day that I die
    AThis'll be the day that I die

    MOh, and there we were all in one place
    AA generation lost in space
    KWith no time left to start again

    ESo come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
    YJack Flash sat on a candlestick
    O'Cause fire is the devil's only friend

    UOh and as I watched him on the stage
    CMy hands were clenched in fists of rage
    RNo angel born in Hell
    YCould break that Satan's spell

    NAnd as the flames climbed high into the night
    ETo light the sacrificial rite
    VI saw Satan laughing with delight
    EThe day the music died
    RHe was singin'

    GBye, bye Miss American Pie

    SI met a girl who sang the blues
    AAnd I asked her for some happy news
    YBut she just smiled and turned away

    GI went down to the sacred store
    OWhere I'd heard the music years before
    OBut the man there said the music wouldn't play

    DAnd in the streets the children screamed
    BThe lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
    YBut not a word was spoken
    EThe church bells all were broken

    NAnd the three men I admire most
    EThe Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
    VThey caught the last train for the coast
    EThe day the music died
    RAnd they were singing

    UI'll just borrow

    OOh I know
    UIs this the real life
