[00:01] A long long time ago
[00:03] I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:12] And I knew if I had my chance
[00:15] That I could make those people dance
[00:19] And maybe they＇d be happy for a while.
[00:25] But February made me shiver
[00:29] With every paper I＇d deliver
[00:33] Bad news on the doorstep
[00:36] I couldn＇t take one more step
[00:40] I can＇t remember if I cried
[00:43] When I read about his widowed bride
[00:48] But something touched me deep inside
[00:53] The day the music died
[01:03] So Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[01:07] Drove my chevy to the levee
[01:09] But the levee was dry
[01:12] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[01:17] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[01:23] This＇ll be the day that I die
[01:29] Did you write the Book of Love
[01:31] And do you have faith in God above
[01:35] If the Bible tells you so
[01:40] Do you believe in rock ＇n roll
[01:43] Can music save your mortal soul
[01:47] And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:53] Well, I know that you＇re in love with him
[01:57] ＇Cause I saw you dancin＇ in the gym
[02:01] You both kicked off your shoes
[02:03] Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
[02:08] I was a lonely teenage broncin＇ buck
[02:11] With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:14] But I knew I was out of luck
[02:17] The day the music died
[02:24] I started singin＇
[02:25] Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[02:28] Drove my chevy to the levee
[02:30] But the levee was dry
[02:32] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[02:35] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[02:39] This＇ll be the day that I die
[02:43] Now for ten years we＇ve been on our own
[02:47] And moss grows fat on a rollin＇ stone
[02:51] But that＇s not how it used to be
[02:56] When the jester sang for the King and Queen
[02:59] In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:03] And a voice that came from you and me
[03:10] Oh, and while the King was looking down
[03:14] The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:17] The courtroom was adjourned
[03:20] No verdict was returned
[03:24] And while Lennon read a book of Marx
[03:28] The quartet practiced in the park
[03:31] And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:34] The day the music died
[03:40] We were singing
[03:41] Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[03:44] Drove my chevy to the levee
[03:47] But the levee was dry
[03:49] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[03:52] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[03:56] This＇ll be the day that I die
[04:01] Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
[04:04] The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:09] Eight miles high and falling fast
[04:14] It landed foul out on the grass
[04:17] The players tried for a forward pass
[04:20] With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:26] Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:30] While the Sergeants played a marching tune
[04:34] We all got up to dance
[04:37] Oh, but we never got the chance
[04:40] ＇Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:44] The marching band refused to yield
[04:48] Do you recall what was revealed
[04:51] The day the music died
[04:57] We started singing
[04:58] Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[05:01] Drove my chevy to the levee
[05:03] But the levee was dry
[05:05] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[05:08] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[05:13] This＇ll be the day that I die
[05:17] Oh, and there we were all in one place
[05:21] A generation Lost in Space
[05:24] With no time left to start again
[05:29] So come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
[05:34] Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:36] ＇Cause fire is the Devil＇s only friend
[05:43] Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
[05:47] My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:51] No angel born in hell
[05:54] Could break that Satan＇s spell
[05:56] And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:02] To light the sacrifical rite
[06:05] I saw Satan laughing with delight
[06:08] The day the music died
[06:15] He was singing
[06:16] Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[06:19] Drove my chevy to the levee
[06:21] But the levee was dry
[06:23] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[06:26] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[06:30] This＇ll be the day that I die
[06:36] I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:40] And I asked her for some happy news
[06:44] But she just smiled and turned away
[06:49] I went down to the sacred store
[06:51] Where I＇d heard the music years before
[06:55] But the man there said the music wouldn＇t play
[07:03] And in the streets the children screamed
[07:07] The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
[07:10] But not a word was spoken
[07:15] The church bells all were broken
[07:19] And the three men I admire most
[07:23] The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:27] They caught the last train for the coast
[07:31] The day the music died
[07:39] And they were singing
[07:41] Bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[07:46] Drove my chevy to the levee
[07:49] But the levee was dry
[07:52] And them good old boys were drinkin＇ whiskey and rye
[07:56] Singin＇ this＇ll be the day that I die
[08:03] This＇ll be the day that I die
[08:08] They were singing bye-bye, Miss American Pie
[08:15] Drove my chevy to the levee
[08:17] But the levee was dry
[08:20] Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
