American Pie Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GA longD, lonEm7g time ago,

AmI can still reCmember how that mEmusic used to make me Dsmile

 And GI know that Dif I Em7had my chance,

 That AmI could make those Cpeople dance and Emmaybe they'd be Chappy for a Dwhile

GDid you write the Ambook of love

 And do Cyou have faith in Amgod above, Emif the bible Dtells you so?

GNow do you Dbelieve in Emrock and roll

 Think that Am7music save your Cmortal soul if Emyou will teach me A7how to dance real Dslow?

 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 Dteenage Embroncin' buck with a Ampink carnation and a Cpickup truck

 But GI knew DI was Emout of luck the Cday the D7music GdieCd, GI 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

 I Gmet a Dgirl who Emsang the blues

 And I Amasked her for some Chappy news, but Emshe just smiled and turned aDway

 Then I Gwent down Dto the Emsacred store

G Am G C Em

 Where I'd Amheard the music Cyears before, but the Emman there said the Cmusic

 wouldn't Dplay

 Well now Emin the streets the Amchildren screamed, the Emlovers cry and the Ampoets dream

 But Cnot a Gword was Amspoken, the Cchurch bells all were Dbroken

G

 And the Gthree men DI adEmmire most, the Am7Father, CSon, and the D7Holy Ghost

GThey caught the Dlast train Emfor the coast the Am7day the D7music Gdied,

D7We started singin'

(Chorus x2)

D7We started singin'

D7We started singin'

D7We started singin'

D7We started singin'
