Verse 1
A Glong, D/F#long Em7time ago,
AmI can still Cremember how that Emmusic used to make me Dsmile
And GI knew D/F#if I Em7had my chance,
That AmI could make those Cpeople dance and Emmaybe they'd be Chappy
for a Dwhile
But EmFebruary Ammade me shiver, Emwith every paper AmI'd deliver
CBad news Gon the Amdoorstep, I Ccouldn't take one more Dstep
I Gcan't D/F#remember if I Emcried when I Am7read about his Dwidowed
bride
GSomething Dtouched me Emdeep inside
The Cday the D7music Gdied
Chorus
So Gbye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
Verse2
GDid you write the Ambook of love
And do Cyou have faith in Amgod above, Emif the bible Dtells you so?
GDo you D/F#believe in Emrock and roll
Can Am7music save your Cmortal soul Emand can you teach me A7how to
dance Dreal slow?
Well I Emknow that you're in Dlove with him 'cuz I Emsaw you dancin'
Din the gym
You Cboth kicked Goff your A7shoes, man I Cdig those rhythm and
D7blues
I was a Glonely D/F#teenage Embroncin' buck with a Ampink carnation
and a Cpickup truck
But GI knew D/F#I was Emout of luck the Cday the D7music G
Cdied, I Gstarted singin'
Chorus
GBye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
Verse3
Now for Gten years we've been Amon our own,
and Cmoss grows fat on a Amrolling stone Embut that's not how it Dused
to be
When the Gjester D/F#sang for the Emking and queen
in a Am7coat he borrowed Cfrom James Dean in a Emvoice that came
A7from you and Dme
Oh, and Emwhile the king was Dlooking down, the Emjester stole his
Dthorny crown
The Ccourtroom Gwas A7adjourned, no Cverdict was D7returned
And while GLennon D/F#read a Embook on Marx, the Amquartet
Cpracticed in the park
And Gwe sang D/F#dirges Emin the dark the Cday the D7music Gdied,
Cwe Gwere singin'
Chorus
GBye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
Verse4
GHelter skelter in a Amsummer swelter
Cthe birds flew off with Ama fallout shelter, Emeight miles high and
Dfallin' fast
It Glanded D/F#foul Emon the grass
the Am7players tried for a Cforward pass, Emwith the jester on the
A7sidelines in a Dcast
Now the Emhalf-time air was Dsweet perfume, while Emsergeants played a
Dmarching tune
CWe all got Gup to A7dance, but Cwe never got the D7chance
'Cuz the Gplayers D/F#tried to Emtake the field, the Ammarching band
Crefused to yield
Do Gyou D/F#recall what Emwas revealed the Cday the D7music diedG,
C Gwe started singin'
Chorus
GBye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
Verse5
And Gthere we were all Amin one place,
a Cgeneration Amlost in space, Emwith no time left to Dstart again
So come on GJack be D/F#nimble, EmJack be quick, Am7Jack Flash sat on
a Ccandle
stick, Em'cuz fire is the A7devil's only Dfriend
And Emas I watched him Don the stage, my Emhands were clenched in
Dfists of rage
No Cangel Gborn in A7Hell could Cbreak that Satan's D7spell
And as the Gflames D/F#climbed high Eminto the night to Amlight the
Csacrificial rite
I saw GSatan D/F#laughing with Emdelight the Cday the D7music
Gdied C, Ghe was singin'
Chorus
GBye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
Verse6
I Gmet a D/F#girl who Emsang the blues
And I Amasked her for some Chappy news, but Emshe just smiled and
Dturned away
I Gwent D/F#down to the Emsacred store
Where AmI'd heard the Cmusic years before, but Emthe man there said
Cthe music
wouldn't Dplay
But Emin the streets the Amchildren screamed, the Emlovers cried and the
Ampoets dreamed
But Cnot a Gword was Amspoken, the Cchurch bells all were Dbroken
And the Gthree D/F#men I Emadmire most, the Am7Father, CSon, and the
D7Holy Ghost
GThey caught D/F#the last train Emfor the coast the Am7day the
D7music Gdied,
N.C.
And they were singin'
Chorus
GBye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emthis will be the day that I A7die, Emthis will be the day that
I D7die
They were singin' Gbye, Cbye Miss GAmerican DPie
Drove my GChevy to the Clevy but the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinkin' Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Cthis will be the D7day that I G C Gdie.
