Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 The day that music died was an awful day

 the children started working instead of play

 our poets read from scripts to earn their pay

 i tell them exit stage left aint got shit to say

 Cause music brings us life when we are dead

 an honest melody to break the trend

 and music brings us hope for future peace

 humanity will sing in harmony

 I pray for that day

Harmonica part:

 The day that music died was an awful day

 the critics and the skeptics had all the say

 this money hungry industry must back away

set the music free or watch it fade away

 Cause music brings us life when we are dead

 an honest melody to break the trend

 and music brings us hope for future peace

 humanity will sing in harmony

 I pray for that day
