 .  G     D        Em      
 A long, long time ago__   
 Am             C              Em                     D
 I can still remember how that music used to make me smile.__
 .   G         D     Em             Am                 C  
 And I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance 
 .   Em               C           D
 and maybe they d by 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              C       D7       G   C  G
 Something touched me deep inside the day_ the music  died._____ 
 .
 Chorus:
 .       G    C         G       D           G             C

 .    G         D         G        C                  G          D     
 .   levee was dry, them good ole boys were drinkin  whiskey and Rye, singing
 .   Em                        A7      Em                         D7
 .   this ll be the day that I die,    This ll be the day that I die.__
 verse:
 G                 Am,                 C                 Am      
 Did you write the book of love and do you have faith in God above?__ 
 .      Em               D           G      D       Em                 
 If the Bible tells you so__  Now do you believe in rock and roll?  
 .   Am              C               Em                       A7           D7
 Can music save your mortal soul? and can you teach me how to dance_ real slow?
 .       Em                 Am                     Em              Am         
 Well I know that you re in love with him  cause I saw you dancing 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 pick-up truck.
 .   G      D     Em               C        D7     G  C  G 
 But I knew I was out of luck the day, the music died.___ 
 G           D7
 I started singing....     (chorus)
 .
 .        G                    Am,            C                   Am      
 Now for ten years, we ve been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone,
 Em                            D                   G     D            Em  
 But that s not how it used to be.Cause when the jester sang for the King & 
 Queen
 .    Am                C                    Em                   A7      D7
 in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me__
 .       Em                 Am                  Em               Am  
 Oh and while the king was looking down    the jester stole his thorny crown
 _    C          G     A7         C            D7     
 the court room was adjourned no verdict was returned.
 .          G      D     Em                      Am              C
 And while Lennon 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__ 
 G           D7
 I started singin       (chorus)

 Helter skelter in the summer swelter_ the birds flew off with a fallout shelter
 Em                           D           G          D       Em

 The players tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast_
 .   Em                 Am                      Em                 Am 
 The half time air was sweet perfume while the seargeants played a marching tune
 _  C      G       A7              C              D7     
 we all got up to dance___  but we never got the chance.    Cause 
 .    G        D      Em                       Am              C

 .G       D        Em                       C        D7    G  C  G 
 Do you recall what was revealed  _____ the day the music died.

 .
 .   G                 Am,              C           Am      
 And there we were all in one place,  A generation lost in space.
 .   Em                       D                   G      D       Em 
 With no time left, to start again. So come on, Jack be nimble, jack be quick,
 Am                  C                     Em          A7            D7
 Jack flash sat on a candlestick.    Cause fire is the devil s only friend.
 .   Em               Am               Em                     Am  
 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 break 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.    
 G          D7
 we were singin      (chorus)
 .
 .  G     D       Em                
 I met a girl who sang the blues so 
 .  Am                  C            Em                                D 
 I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled__    and turned away.
 . G     D          Em                      Am              C 
 I went down to the sacred store.  Where I heard the music years before.__
 .       Em                 C              D
 But the man there said the music wouldn t play.__     And
 Em                  Am                    Em                   Am    
 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                 D  
 And the three men I admire most:  the father, Son and the Holy Ghost__
 .     G          D         Em                 C       D7     G   C  G
 They caught the last train for the coast the day, the music died.
 G             D7                              C             D7         G C G
 And they were singing:(chorus twice, ending: this ll be the day that I die)
