American Pie - Madonna
[Verse 1]
G D Em7
A long, long time ago,
Am C Em D
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
G D Em7
And I know that if I had my chance,
Am C Em C D
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
[Verse 2]
G Am
Did you write the book of love
C Am Em D
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
G D Em
Now do you believe in rock and roll
Am7 C Em A7 D
Think that music save your mortal soul if you will teach me how to dance real slow?
[Verse 3]
Em D Em D
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
C G A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
G D Em Am C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
G D Em C D7 G C G
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'
[Chorus]
G C G D
bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
[Verse 4]
G D Em
I met a girl who sang the blues
Am C Em D
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
G D Em
Then I went down to the sacred store
Am C Em C
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
D
wouldn't play
[Verse 5]
Em Am Em Am
Well now in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cry and the poets dream
C G A7 C D7
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G D Em Am C
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G D Em C D7 G C G
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died, I started singin'
[Chorus x3]
G C G D
bye, bye Miss American Pie
G C G D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
G C G D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
Em A7 Em D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
Em A7 Em C G
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die
