Chords for Madonna - American Pie (Official Video) [HD]

_ [Ab] A long, long [Fm] time ago, [Bbm] I can still [Db] remember how [Fm] that music used to [Eb] make me smile. _ _
[Ab] And I knew [Cm] that if I [Fm] had my [Bbm] chance, I could make those [Db] people dance, [Fm] and maybe they'd be [Db] happy _ [Ab] for a while.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] Did you [Bbm] write the book of love, and [Db] do you have faith [Bbm] in God above?
[Fm] Even if the Bible [Eb] tells you so.
_ _ Now [Ab] do you [Cm] believe in [Fm] rock and roll, [Bbm] and can music _ [Db] save your mortal soul?
[Fm] And can you teach me [Bb] how to dance [Eb] real slow?
[Abm] _ _ [Cm] Well [Fm] I know that you're [Eb] in love with him, cause [Fm] I saw you dancing [Eb] in the gym.
[Db] You both [Fm] kicked off [Bbm] his shoes, and [Db] I kicked off with my [Eb] blues.
I [Ab] was a lonely [Cm] teenage [Fm] drunken bug, [Bbm] with a pink carnation [Db] and a brick of chalk.
But [Ab] I knew [Eb] that I [Fm] was out of luck, [Db] the day the [Eb] _ _ music [Ab] _ [Db] died.
_ [Ab] I [Eb] started singing, [Ab] bye [Db] [Ab] bye, Miss American [Eb] Pie.
Drove [Ab] my Chevy [Db] to the levee, [Ab] but the levee was dry.
And good old [Db] boys were [Ab] drinking whiskey [Eb] and rye.
[Fm] Singing, this'll be the day that [Bb] I die. _ _
[Fm] This'll be the day that [Eb] I die. _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] I met a girl who [Eb] [Bbm] sang the [Db] blues, and I asked her for [Bbm] some happy [Ab] news.
But she just [Eb] smiled and turned away.
[Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ Well [Ab] I've been [Cm] down to [Fm] the sacred store, [Bbm] where I heard music years [Db] before.
[Fm] The man there [Bb] said the music wouldn't [Eb] _ play.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Well [Fm] now in the streets, [Eb] the children scream.
[Fm] The lovers cry, [Eb] and the poets dream. _
[Db] But [Ab] not a word for [Bbm] spoken, _ [Db] the church bells _ [Eb] oaken.
And [Ab] the free men I [Fm] admired most, [Bbm] the father, son, [Db] and the holy ghost.
[Ab] They [Eb] caught the last [Fm] train for the coast, the [Db] day the [Eb] _ _ music [Ab] died.
[Db] _ _ [Ab] We [Eb] started singing, [Ab] bye [Db] bye, [Ab] Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy [Db] to the levee, but [Ab] the levee [Eb] was dry.
[Ab] And good old [Db] boys were [Ab] drinking whiskey [Eb] and rye.
[Fm] Singing, this'll be the day that [Bb] I die. _ _
[Fm] This'll be the day that [Eb] I die. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Bye _ _ [Ab] _ _ bye, Miss American Pie.
Drove my Chevy [Db] to the levee, but [Ab] the levee [Eb] was dry.
