Madonna - American Pie



![]() ![]() ![]() |
A 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 by happy for a while. |

Did you write the book of love |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
and do you have faith in God above? |
![]() ![]() |
If the Bible tells you so |
![]() ![]() |
Now do you believe in rock and 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 dancing in the gym, |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
You both kicked off your shoes, |
![]() ![]() |
Man I dig those rhythm and blues! |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
I was a lonely teenage broncin' 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 singing.... |
Chorus: |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
So bye-bye, Miss American Pie. |
![]() ![]() |
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
levee was dry, them good ole boys |
![]() ![]() |
were drinkin' whiskey and Rye, singing |
![]() ![]() |
this'll be the day that I die, |
![]() ![]() |
This'll be the day that I die. |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
I met a girl who sang the blues so |
![]() ![]() |
I asked her for some happy news |
![]() ![]() |
But she just smiled and turned away. |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
I went down to the sacred store |
![]() ![]() |
Where I heard the music years before. |
![]() |
But the man there said |
![]() ![]() |
the music wouldn't play. And |
![]() ![]() |
in the streets the children screamed |
![]() ![]() |
The lovers cried and the poets dreamed. |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
But not a word was spoken |
![]() ![]() |
The church bells all were broken. |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
And the three men I admire most: |
![]() ![]() |
The father, Son and the Holy Ghost |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
They caught the last train for the coast the day |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
The music died. And they were singing |
Bridge: |
Em G G Am x2 |
Repeat Chorus |
Ending: |
G Am Em G x2 |
