A long, long time ago

I can still remember

And I knew if I had my chance
C

I could make those people dance
Em
D
And maybe we'd be happy for a while
Em
Am
But February made me shiver
Em
Am
Every paper I delivered
C
D
Am
Bad news on the doorstep
C
G
D
I couldn't take one more step
G
Em
Well, I can't remember if I cried
C
Am
When I read about his wid ow pride
G
D

But something touched me deep inside

The day the music died

drinking whiskey and rye

This'll be the day that I die

It's only in the day that I die

Did you write the book of love?
C
Am
Did you have faith in God above?
Em
D
If the Bible tells you so
G
D
Em
Do you believe in rock 'n 'roll?
C
Am
Can music save a mortal soul?
Em
And can you teach me how to dance
A
D
Em
D
Real slow
Em
Well, I know that you're

in love with him
Em

Cause I saw you dancing in the gym
C

You both kicked off your shoes

Well, I did those rhythm blows

G
D

I was a lonely teenage bonking buck

A pink carnation and a pickup truck

The music died

Now for ten years we've been on our own
C
Am
My screw fell on a rolling stone
Em
D
That's not how it used to be
G
D
Em
When the jester sang for the king and queen
C
Am
A call he borrowed from Jane Austen
Em
A
And a voice that he borrowed
D
from you and me
Em
D
And while the king was looking down
Em
D
The jester stole his thorny crown
C
The courtroom was adjourned,
D
and no one said to return
G
D
Em
Oh, I later read a book on mods,
C
Am
the cods had practiced in the dark
G
D
Em
And we stepped into the dark
C
D
G
the day the music died
C
G
Come on!
