Amerimn Pie

Made Famous By. DON MCLEAN

(z) www.singtotheworld.com
Long, long time ago,
I can still remember
how that music used to
make me smile
And I knew if I had
my chance, that I could
make those people
dance and maybe they'd
be happy for a while
But February made me
shiver, with every paper
I'd deliver. Bad news on
the doorstep, I couldn't
take one more step
I can't remember if I

cried when I read about
his widowed bride
But something touched

me deep inside,
the day the music died
So bye-bye
Miss American pie,

drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry
Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die
This'll be the day

that I die
Did you write the book
of love? And do

you have faith in God
above?
Now do you
believe in rock 'n' roll?

Can music save
your mortal soul? And
Can you teach me how

to dance real slow?
Well I know that you're
in love with him

'cause I saw you dancin'
in the gym
You both kicked off
your shoes, man I

dig those rhythm and
blues
I was a lonely
teenage bronkin' buck

with a pink
carnation and a pick-up
truck, but I
Knew I was out of luck

the day the music died
I started singin' bye-bye
Miss American pie,
drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry
Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die
Now for ten years
we've been on our own
and moss grows fat on
a rollin' stone, but that's

not how it used to be
When the Jester sang

for the King and Queen

in a coat he borrowed

from James Dean and
a voice
That came from you

and me
Oh, and
while the King was

looking down
the Jester stole his
thorny crown
The courtroom was

adjourned. no verdict
was returned
And while Lenin read
a book on Marx,

the quartet practiced
in the park
And we sang dirges

in the dark the day the
music died
We were singin'
bye-bye Miss American
pie, drove my Chevy to
the levee but the levee

was dry
Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die
Bye- bye
Miss American pie,

drove my Chevy
to the levee but the
levee was dry
Them good old boys
were drinkin' Whiskey
and Rye, singin' This'll

be the day that I die
This'll be the day

that I die
