When the jester sang for the king and queen
Ebm7 Gb Bbm Eb7 Ab
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
Gb Db Eb7 Gb Ab7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned

Helter skelter in a summer swelter
Gb Ebm Bbm Ab
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
Db Ab/C Bbm
It landed foul on the grass
Ebm7 Gb Bbm Eb7 Ab
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
Gb Db Eb7 Gb Ab7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
Bbm Eb7 Ab

Bbm Ab Bbm Ab
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell

And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
Db Ab/C Bbm
I went down to the sacred store
Ebm Gb Bbm Gb
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
Ab
wouldn't play
Bbm Ebm Bbm Ebm
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
Gb Db Ebm Gb Ab
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
Db Ab/C Bbm Ebm7 Gb Ab7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
Db Ab/C Bbm Ebm7 Ab7 Db
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
And they were singin'

I met a girl who sang the blues
Bm D Gbm E
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
A E/Ab Gbm
I went down to the sacred store
Bm D Gbm D
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
E
wouldn't play
Gbm Bm Gbm Bm
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed
D A Bm D E
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
A E/Ab Gbm Bm7 D E7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
A E/Ab Gbm Bm7 E7 A
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
And they were singin'
Chorus :
A D A E
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
A D A E
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
A D A E
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gbm B7 Gbm E7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

VERSION 10
Verse 1 :Bb F Gm7
A long, long time ago,
Cm Eb Gm F
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
Bb F Gm7
And I know if I had my chance,
Cm Eb Gm Eb F
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
Gm Cm Gm Cm
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
Eb Bb Cm Eb F
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
Bb F Gm Cm7 F
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
Bb F Gm
Something touched me deep inside
Eb F7 Bb
The day the music died
Chorus :
Bb Eb Bb F
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Bb Eb Bb F
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Bb Eb Bb F
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gm C7 Gm F7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
Verse 2 :
Bb Cm
Did you write the book of love
Eb Cm Gm F
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
Bb F/A Gm
Do you believe in rock and roll
Cm7 Eb Gm C7 F
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Gm F Gm F
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
Eb Bb C7 Eb F7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
Bb F/A Gm Cm Eb
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
Bb F/A Gm Eb F7 Bb Eb Bb
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
Chorus :
Bb Eb Bb F
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Bb Eb Bb F
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Bb Eb Bb F
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gm C7 Gm F7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
Verse 3 :
Bb Cm
Now for ten years we've been on our own,
Eb Cm Gm F
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be
Bb F/A Gm
When the jester sang for the king and queen
Cm7 Eb Gm C7 F
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me
Gm F Gm F
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
Eb Bb C7 Eb F7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
Bb F/A Gm Cm Eb
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
Bb F/A Gm Eb F7 Bb Eb Bb
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'
Chorus :
Bb Eb Bb F
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Bb Eb Bb F
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Bb Eb Bb F
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gm C7 Gm F7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
Verse 4 :
Bb Cm
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
Eb Cm Gm F
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast
Bb F/A Gm
It landed foul on the grass
Cm7 Eb Gm C7 F
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Gm F Gm F
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune
Eb Bb C7 Eb F7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
Bb F/A Gm Cm Eb
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield
Bb F/A Gm Eb F7 Bb Eb Bb
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died, we started singin'
Chorus :
Bb Eb Bb F
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Bb Eb Bb F
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Bb Eb Bb F
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gm C7 Gm F7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
Verse 5 :
Bb Cm
And there we were all in one place,
Eb Cm Gm F
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
Bb F/A Gm Cm7 Eb
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle
Gm C7 F
stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
Gm F Gm F
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage
Eb Bb C7 Eb F7
No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell
Bb F/A Gm Cm Eb
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite
Bb F/A Gm Eb F7 Bb Eb Bb
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died, he was singin'
Chorus :
Bb Eb Bb F
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
Bb Eb Bb F
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
Bb Eb Bb F
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Gm C7 Gm F7
