A Glong Dlong Emi7time ago Ami I can still reCmember
how that Emimusic used to make me Dsmile
And GI knew Dif I had Emi7my chance
that AmiI could make those Cpeople dance
and Emimaybe they'd be Chappy for a Dwhile.Emi
But February Amimade me shiver Emi With every paper AmiI'd deliver
CBad news G/Bon the Amidoorstep I cCouldn't take one Dmore step
I Gcan't reDmember if I Emicried
When I Ami7read about his Dwidowed bride
But Gsomething Dtouched me deep inside
The Cday the D7Music GDied C/GG
So
Ref.:
Gbye Cbye Miss AGmerican DPie
Drove my Gchevy to the Clevy
But the Glevy was Ddry
And them Ggood old Cboys were drinking Gwhiskey and Drye
Singin' Emithis'll be the day that I A7die,
Emithis'll be the day that I D7die.
GDid you write the Amibook of love
And do Cyou have faith in AmiGod above?
Emi If the Bible Dtells you so.
Do Gyou beDlieve in EmiRock 'n Roll?
Can Ami7music save your Cmortal soul?
And Emican you teach me A7how to dance Dreal slow?
Well, I Emiknow that you're in Dlove with him
'cause I Emisaw you dancin' Din the gym
You Cboth kicked G/Boff your A7shoes
Man, I Cdig those rythmny D7blues
I was a Glonely Dteenage Emibroncin' buck
With a Amipink carnation and a Cpickup truck.
But GI knew DI was Emiout of luck
The Cday the D7music GdiedC
I started singin'
+ Ref.
GNow for ten years we've been Amion our own
And Cmoss grows fat on a Amirollin' stone
EmiBut that's not how it Dused to be
When the Gjester Dsang for the EmiKing and Queen
In a Ami7coat he borrowed Cfrom James Dean
And a Emivoice that A7came from Dyou and me
Oh, and Emiwhile the King was Dlooking down
The Emijester stole his Dthorny crown
The Ccourtroom G/Bwas adA7journed
No Cverdict was reD7turned
And while GLennon Dread a Emibook of Marx
The Amicourt kept practice Cin the park
And Gwe sang Ddirges Emiin the dark
The Cday the D7Music GDied.C
We were singing
+ Ref.
GHelter-Skelter in a Amisummer Amiswelter
The CByrds flew off with a Amifallout shelter
EmiEight Miles High and Dfalling fast...........
It Glanded Dfoul out Emion the grass
The Am7players tried Cfor a forward pass
But the Emijester's A7on the sidelines
Din a cast
Now the Emihalf-time air was Dsweet perfume
While the Emisargeants played a Dmarching tune
CWe all G/Bgot up to A7dance
ooooo
But we Cnever got D7the chance
'cause the Gplayers Dtried to Emitake the field
The Amimarching band reCfused to yield
GDo you Drecall Emiwhat was reveiled the Cday
the D7Music GDied?CG
We stared singing
+ Ref.
GOh, and there we were all Amiin one place
A Cgeneration AmiLost in Space
EmiWith no time left to Dstart again
So come on,
GJack be nimble EmiJack be quick
Jack Am7Flash sat on a Ccandlestick 'cause
Emifire is the A7Devil's only Dfriend
Oh, and Emias I watched him Don the stage
My Emihands were clenched in Dfists of rage
CNo angel Gborn in A7hell
Could Cbreak that Satan's D7spell
And as the Gflames climbed Dhigh inEmito the night
To Amilight the sacriCfical rite
I saw GSatan Dlaughing Emiwith delight
The Cday the D7Music GDied CG
He was singing
+ Ref.
I Gmet a girl who sang the Amiblues
And I Casked her for some Amihappy news
But Emishe just smiled and turned Daway
I Gwent down to the sacred Dstore
Where I'd Emiheard the music Am7years before
But the Emiman there said the A7music woudn't Dplay
And in the Emistreets the children Dscreamed
The Emilovers cried, and the poets Ddreamed
CBut not a Gword was A7spoken
The CChurch bells all were D7broken
And Gthree men I Dadmire most
The EmiFather, AmiSon and the CHoly Ghost
They Gcaught the Dlast train Emifor the coast
The CDay the D7Music GDied.CG
