Publicado a 04. Jun, 2009 em Cifras, Música.

G      D    Em7      Am            C
A long long time ago I can still remember
         Em                    D         G      D        Em7
How that music used to make me smile and I knew if I had my chance
    Am                  C                Em              C          D   Em
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while
             Am             Em               Am
But February made me shiver with every paper I'd deliver
C        G/B    Am            C              D
Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
  G       D           Em           Am7            D
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
    G         D              Em            C       D7    G    C/G   G
But something touched me deep inside the day the music died          So

			G C G D Bye Bye Miss American Pie G C G D Drove my chevy to the levee but the levee was dry G C G D And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye Em A7 Em D7 Singin' this'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die.

G                 Am                  C                Am
Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?
Em           D                 G     D        Em
If the Bible tells you so.  Do you believe in Rock 'n Roll?
Am7             C
Can music save your mortal soul?
Em                A7           D
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
Em                  D
Well, I know that you're in love with him
Em              D
'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
C           G/B      A7           C                    D7
You both kicked off your shoes man, I dig those rhythm and blues
G       D       Em
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
Am                  C
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck.
G      D     Em              C       D7    G    C
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died
I started singin'   (Chorus)
G                            Am
Now for ten years we've been on our own
C                   Am              Em                    D
And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone,  but that's not how it used to be
G      D            Em
When the jester sang for the King and Queen
Am7              C
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
Em         A7        D
And a voice that came from you and me
Em                 D                 Em               D
Oh, and while the King was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown
C         G/B     A7        C             D7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
G      D      Em                Am                C
And while Lennon read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park
G        D     Em               C       D7    G    C
And we sang dirges in the dark, the day the music died.   We were singing   (Chorus)  G
Am
Helter-Skelter in a summer swelter,
C                     Am
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Em                   D               G      D        Em
Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul out on the grass
Am7           C
The players tried for a forward pass
Em       A7          D
But the jester's on the sidelines in a cast
Em                D
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
Em                 D
While the sergeants played a marching tune
C      G/B       A7             C        D7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
G       D        Em
'Cause the players tried to take the field
Am         C
The marching band refused to yield
G      D      Em                    C       D7    G  C  G
Do you recall what was revealed the day the music died?   We stared singing   (Chorus)  G
Am             C          Am
Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space
Em                   D                         G
With no time left to start again.  So come on, Jack be nimble
Em                 Am7            C
Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Em         A7            D
'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
Em               D
Oh, and as I watched him on the stage,
Em                    D
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
C        G       A7         C                  D7
No angel born in hell could break that Satan's spell
G              D     Em
And as the flames climbed high into the night
Am             C
To light the sacrificial rite
G     D        Em                C      D7     G  C  G
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died    He was singing   (Chorus)    G
Am          C                  Am
I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news
Em                         D      G                       D
But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store
Em              Am7
Where I'd heard the music years before
Em                 A7             D
But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Em                   D
And in the streets the children screamed
Em                         D
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
C         G        A7          C
D7  But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
G           D                Em      Am          C
And three men I admire most, the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G          D          Em
They caught the last train for the coast,
C       D7    G    C  G  D7
The day the music died.      And they were singing  (Chorus)
D7
They were singing
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
C                D7         G   C G
singin' this will be the day that I die.
