American Pie (Short version)

A [G]long, [D]long [Em7]time ago

[Am]I can still re[C]member how that

[Em]Music used to make me [D]smile

[G]I knew [D]if I [Em7]had my chance that

[Am]I could make those [C]people dance and

[Em]Maybe they'd be [C]happy for a [D]while

But [Em]February [Am]made me shiver, with [Em]every paper [Am]I'd deliver

[C]Bad news [G]on the [Am]doorstep, I [C]couldn't take one [D]more step

I [G]can't re[D]member [Em]if I cried when I

[Am7]Read about his [D]widowed bride

[G]Something [D]touched me [Em]deep inside the [C]day the [D7]music [G]died [C] [G]

So [G]bye, [C]bye, Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie

Drove my [G]chevy to the [C]levee but the [G]levee was [D]dry

Them [G]good ole' [C]boys were drinkin' [G]whiskey and [D]rye, singin'

[Em]This'll be the day that I [A7]die, [Em]This'll be the day that I [D7]die

[G]Did you write the [Am]book of love and do [C]you have faith in [Am]God above?

[Em]If the Bible [D]tells you so

Now [G]do you be[D]lieve in [Em]rock and roll

Can [Am7]music save your [C]mortal soul and

[Em]Can you teach me [A7]how to dance real [D]slow?

Well, I [Em]know that you're in [D]love with him

Cause I [Em]saw you dancing [D]at the gym

You [C]both kicked [G]off your [A7]shoes

Man I [C]dig those rhythm and [D7]blues

I was a [G]lonely [D]teenage [Em]broncin' buck

With a [Am]Pink carnation and a [C]pick up truck

1

But [G]I knew [D]I was [Em]out of luck the

[C]Day the [D7]music [G]died[C]

[G]I started [D7]singing [G]bye, [C]bye, Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie




Now for [G]ten years we've been [Am]on our own

And [C]moss grows fat on a [Am]rollin' stone

[Em]But that's not how it [D]used to be

When the [G]jester [D]sang for the [Em]King and Queen

In a [Am7]coat he borrowed [C]from James Dean

[Em]And a voice that [A7]came from you and [D]me

Oh, and [Em]while the King was [D]looking down

The [Em]jester stole his [D]thorny crown

The [C]courtroom [G]was ad[A7]journed, No [C]verdict was re[D7]turned

And while [G]Lennon [D]read a [Em]book of Marx

The [Am]court kept practice [C]in the park

And [G]we sang [D]dirges [Em]in the dark the

[C]Day the [D7]music [G]died [C]

[G]We were [D7]singing [G]bye, [C]bye, Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie




2

[G]Helter-Skelter in a [Am]summer swelter

The [C]Byrds flew off with a [Am]fallout shelter

[Em]eight miles high and [D]falling fast

It [G]landed [D]foul out [Em]on the grass

The [Am7]players tried for a [C]forward pass

But the [Em]jester's on the [A7]sidelines in a [D]cast

Now the [Em]half-time air was [D]sweet perfume

While the [Em]sargeants played a [D]marching tune

[C]We all [G]got up to [A7]dance, But we [C]never got [D7]the chance

'Cause the [G]players [D]tried to [Em]take the field

The [Am]marching band re[C]fused to yield

Do [G]you re[D]call what [Em]was revealed the

[C]Day the [D7]music [G]died? [C]

Decrease tempo

[G]We started [D7]singing [G]bye, [C]bye, Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie




Increase tempo

[G]We started [D7]singing [G]bye, [C]bye, Miss A[G]merican [D]Pie



[C]This'll be the [D7]day that I [G]die. [C] [G]

He said his name Bojangles then he danced a lick Across the cell,He grabbed his pants for a better stanceAnd he jumped up high, then he clicked his heels,He let go a laugh, you know he let go a laugh,Shook back his clothes all around.

Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance

He said he danced for those at minstrel shows,And county fairs throughout the south,He spoke with tears of 15 years how his dog and him,Had travelled about,His dog up & died, you know his dog up & died,After 20 years he still grieves.

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks,For drinks and tips.But most the time I spend behind these county bars,Cos I drinks a bit,He shook his head, and as he shook his head,I heard someone ask please,
