Madonna - American Pie - text písně

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

Am Emi Ami
But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver
C G-B Ami C D
Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step
G D Emi Am7 D
I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride
G D C D7 G C-G G
But something touched me deep inside The day the Music Died

So
{soc}
G C G D G C G D
bye bye Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levy But the levy was
dry
G C G D
And them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Emi A7 Emi D7
Singin' this'll be the day that I die this'll be the day that I die.
{eoc}
G Ami C Ami
Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above?
Emi D G D Emi
If the Bible tells you so. Do you believe in Rock 'n Roll?
Am7 C Emi A7 D
Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance
real slow?

Emi D Emi D
Well, I know that you're in love with him 'cause I saw you dancin' in
the gym
C G-B A7 C D7
You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rythmny blues
G D Emi Ami C
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a
pickup truck.
G D Emi C D7 G C
But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died

I started singin'
{c: chorus}

G Ami C Ami
Now for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a
rollin' stone
Emi D G D Emi
But that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the King
and Queen
Am7 C Em A7 D
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you
and me

Emi D Emi D
Oh, and while the King was looking down The jester stole his thorny
crown
C G-B A7 C D7
The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned
G D Emi Ami C
And while Lennon read a book of Marx The court kept practice in the
park
G D Emi C D7 G C
And we sang dirges in the dark The day the Music Died.

We were singing
{c:chorus}
G Ami Ami C Ami
Helter-Skelter in a summer swelter The Byrds flew off with a fallout
shelter
Emi D G D Emi
Eight Miles High and falling fast It landed foul out on the grass
Am7 C Emi A7 D
The players tried for a forward pass But the jester's on the
sidelines in a cast

Emi D Emi
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While the sargeants played a
D
marching tune
C G-B A7 C D7
We all got up to dance But we never got the chance
G D Emi Ami C
'cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused
to yield
G D Emi C D7 G C G
Do you recall what was reveiled the day the Music Died?

We stared singing
{c:chorus}

G Ami C Ami
Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation Lost in Space
Emi D G
With no time left to start again So come on, Jack be nimble
Emi Am7 C Emi A7
Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'cause fire is the
Devil's
D
only friend

Emi D Emi D
Oh, 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 Emi Ami C
And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrifical
rite
G D Emi C D7 G C G
I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the Music Died

He was singing
{c:chorus}

G Ami C Ami
I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news
Emi D G D
But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store
Emi Am7 Emi A7
Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the
music
D
woudn't play

Emi D Emi
And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the
poets
D
Dreamed
C G A7 C D7
But not a word was spoken The Church bells all were broken
G D Emi Ami C
And three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
G D Emi C D7 G C G
They caught the last train for the coast The Day the Music Died.

And they were singing
{c:chorus}

They were singing
