Chords with lyrics

G+G   D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA long, long time ago,
A minorAm      C majorC        E minorEm          D MajorD
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
  G+G      D MajorD  E minor 7Em7
And I know that if I had my chance,
   A minorAm         C majorC        E minorEm       C majorC      D MajorD
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

G+G         A minorAm
Did you write the book of love
    C majorC         A minorAm     E minorEm      D MajorD
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
G+G     D MajorD     E minorEm
Now do you believe in rock and roll
      Am7*      C majorC       E minorEm        A7A7        D MajorD
Think that music save your mortal soul if you will teach me how to dance real slow?

    E minorEm         D MajorD           E minorEm       D MajorD
Well I know that you're in love with him 'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym
  C majorC      G+G    A7A7      C majorC          D7D7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
    G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm          A minorAm          C majorC
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck
  G+G   D MajorD   E minorEm       C majorC    D7D7  G+G C majorC G+G
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'

(Chorus:)
G+G  C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
bye, bye Miss American Pie
     G+G      C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
     G+G    C majorC         G+G      D MajorD
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
    E minorEm             A7A7  E minorEm             D7D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

 G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm
I met a girl who sang the blues
   A minorAm         C majorC        E minorEm             D MajorD
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away
    G+G     D MajorD   E minorEm
Then I went down to the sacred store
     (G+G)       (A minorAm) (G+G)       (C majorC)        (E minorEm)
     A minorAm       C majorC           E minorEm         C majorC
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music
     D MajorD
wouldn't play

     E minorEm         A minorAm           E minorEm         A minorAm
Well now in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cry and the poets dream
  C majorC   G+G    A minorAm     C majorC           D MajorD
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
                   (G+G)
    G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm       Am7Am7   C majorC      D7D7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm        Am7Am7   D7D7  G+G
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
D7D7
We started singin'

(Chorus x2)

D7D7
We started singin'
D7D7
We started singin'
D7D7
We started singin'
D7D7
We started singin
