Don Mclean - American Pie - аккорды

[ Предположительная тональность: G ]

   G     D    Em7
A long, long time ago,
 Am            C                Em                   D
I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
     G      D    Em7
And I know if I had my chance,
      Am                 C                Em              C   D
That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy
for a while

     Em       Am                   Em          Am
But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver
 C        G      Am          C                      D
Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step
   G          D        Em           Am7            D
I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride
 G         D          Em
Something touched me deep inside

 C       D7    G   C   G
The day the music died

CHORUS:
    G    C        G        D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
          G            C            G        D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
          G        C                  G           D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
         Em                          A7   Em             D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day
that I die

 G                 Am
Did you write the book of love
        C                 Am         Em           D
And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?
 G      D          Em
Do you believe in rock and roll
     Am7            C                     Em              A7  D
Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance
real slow?

        Em                  D                     Em           D
Well I know that you're in love with him  'cuz I saw you dancin'
in the gym
     C           G        A7           C                    D7
You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues
         G      D       Em                   Am         C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation
and a pickup truck
     G      D     Em              C       D7    G  C  G
But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died,
I started singin'

CHORUS:
    G    C        G        D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
          G            C            G        D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
          G        C                  G           D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
         Em                          A7   Em       D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be
the day that I die

          G                   Am
Now for ten years we've been on our own,
       C                   Am         Em          D
and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not
how it used to be
           G      D             Em
When the jester sang for the king and queen
      Am7                C                   Em     A7     D
in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came
from you and me
      Em                  D               Em        D
And while the king was looking down, the jester stole
his thorny crown
      C        G          A7    C             D7
The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned
           G        D    Em               Am             C
And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced
in the park
     G        D      Em             C         D7     G  C  G
And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died,
we were singin'

CHORUS:
    G    C        G        D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
          G            C            G        D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
          G        C                  G           D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
         Em                          A7   Em       D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be
the day that I die

 G                   Am
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
 C                      Am                  Em           D
the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high
and fallin' fast
       G   D     Em
It landed foul on the grass
       Am7                C            Em       A7  D
the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester
on the sidelines in A cast
          Em                D                   Em    D
Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants
played a marching Tune
 C          G        A7      C                  D7
We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance
           G      D         Em                 Am     C
'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching
band refused to yield
     G    D          Em              C        D7    G C G
Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died,
we started singin'

CHORUS:
    G    C        G        D
So bye, bye Miss American Pie
          G            C            G        D
Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry
          G        C                  G           D
And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
         Em                          A7   Em           D7
Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day
that I die

      G                Am
And there we were all in one place,
     C        Am            Em                   D
a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again
             G        D    Em               Am7         C
So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat
on a candle
        Em                            A7     D
stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend
      Em               D                Em             D
And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched
in fists of rage
    C      G       A7         C                 D7
No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell
            G               D      Em             Am  C
And as the flames climbed high into the night to light
the sacrificial rite
        G     D           Em            C      D7     G  C  G
I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died,
he was singin'

CHORUS:
   G     D        Em
I met a girl who sang the blues
       Am                 C               Em           D
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled
and turned away
   G         D      Em
I went down to the sacred store
           Am              C                     Em     C
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there
said the music
          D
wouldn't play

     Em                 Am                     Em       Am
But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried
and the poets dreamed
     C     G        Am          C                     D
But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken
         G         D   Em             Am7     C  D7
And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son,
and the Holy Ghost
 G               D          Em                Am7     D7    G
They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,
 D7
And they were singin'

CHORUS

   G     D        Em
I met a girl who sang the blues
       Am                 C               Em           D
And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled
and turned away
   G         D      Em
I went down to the sacred store
           Am              C                     Em     C
Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there
said the music
          D
wouldn't play
