No Easy Version
| G D Em |
| A long, long time ago |
| Am C |
| I can still remember |
| Em D |
| How that music used to make me smile |
| G D Em |
| And I knew if I had my chance that |
| Am C |
| I could make those people dance |
| Em C D |
| and maybe they'd by happy for a while. |

| G Am |
| Did you write the book of love |
| C Am Em |
| and do you have faith in God above? |
| Em D |
| If the Bible tells you so |
| G Em |
| Now do you believe in rock and roll? |
| Am C |
| Can music save your mortal soul? |
| Em A7 D7 |
| and can you teach me how to dance real slow? |
| Em Am |
| Well I know that you're in love with him |
| Em Am |
| 'cause I saw you dancing in the gym, |
| C G Am |
| You both kicked off your shoes, |
| C D7 |
| Man I dig those rhythm and blues! |
| G D Em |
| I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck, |
| Am C |
| with a pink carnation and a pick-up truck. |
| G D Em C |
| But I knew I was out of luck the day, |
| D7 G C G D7 |
| the music died. I started singing.... |
| Chorus: |
| G C G D |
| So bye-bye, Miss American Pie. |
| G C |
| Drove my Chevy to the levee but the |
| G D G C |
| levee was dry, them good ole boys |
| G D |
| were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing |
| Em A7 |
| this'll be the day that I die, |
| Em D7 |
| This'll be the day that I die. |
| G D Em |
| I met a girl who sang the blues so |
| Am C |
| I asked her for some happy news |
| Em D |
| But she just smiled and turned away. |
| G D Em |
| I went down to the sacred store |
| Am C |
| Where I heard the music years before. |
| Em |
| But the man there said |
| C D |
| the music wouldn't play. And |
| Em Am |
| in the streets the children screamed |
| Em D |
| The lovers cried and the poets dreamed. |
| C G Am |
| But not a word was spoken |
| C D |
| The church bells all were broken. |
| G D Em |
| And the three men I admire most: |
| Am7 C |
| The father, Son and the Holy Ghost |
| G D Em C |
| They caught the last train for the coast the day |
| D7 G C G D7 |
| The music died. And they were singing |
| Bridge: |
| Em G G Am x2 |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Bridge: |
| Em G G Am x2 |
| Ending: |
| G Am Em G x2 |
