    How 
    that 
    music 
    used 
    to 
    make 
    me 
    smile 

    And 
    knew 
    that 
    if 
    had 
    my 
    chance 

    could 
    make 
    those 
    people 
    dance 

    And 
    maybe 
    they'd 
    be 
    happy 
    for 
    while 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 1
    Did 
    you 
    write 
    the 
    book 
    of 
    love? 

    And 
    do 
    you 
    have 
    faith 
    in 
    God 
    above? 

    If 
    the 
    Bible 
    tells 
    you 
    so 

    Now 
    do 
    you 
    be
    lieve 
    in 
    rock 
    and 
    roll? 

    And 
    can 
    music 
    save 
    your 
    mortal 
    soul? 

    And 
    can 
    it 
    teach 
    me 
    how 
    to 
    dance 
    real 
    slow? 


    Well, 
    know 
    that 
    you're 
    in 
    love 
    with 
    him 

    'Cause 
    saw 
    you 
    dancin' 
    in 
    the 
    gym 

    You 
    both 
    kicked 
    off 
    your 
    shoes 

    Man, 
    dig 
    those 
    rhythm 
    and 
    blues 

    was 
    lonely 
    teenage 
    bronkin' 
    buck 

    With 
    pink 
    carnation 
    and 
    pick-up 
    truck 

    But 
    knew 
    that 
    was 
    out 
    of 
    luck 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    music 
    died 

    started 
    singing 

    Chorus 1
    Bye 
    bye, 
    Miss 
    A
    merican 
    Pie 

    Drove 
    my 
    Chevy 
    to 
    the 
    levy 

    But 
    the 
    levy 
    was 
    dry 

    And 
    good 
    old 
    boys 

    were 
    drinking 
    whiskey 
    and 
    rye 

    Singing 
    this 
    will 
    be 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    die 

    This 
    will 
    be 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    die 


    Verse 2
    met 
    girl 
    who 
    sang 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    asked 
    her 
    for 
    some 
    happy 
    news 

    But 
    she 
    just 
    smiled 
    and 
    turned 
    away 

    Well, 
    went 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    sacred 
    store 

    Where 
    heard 
    the 
    music 
    years 
    before 

    But 
    the 
    man 
    there 
    said 

    the 
    music 
    wouldn't 
    play 

    Well 
    now, 
    in 
    the 
    streets 

    the 
    children 
    screamed 

    But 
    the 
    lovers 
    cried 
    and 
    the 
    poets 
    dreamed 

    But 
    not 
    word 
    was 
    spoken 

    The 
    church 
    bells 
    all 
    were 
    broken 

    And 
    the 
    three 
    men 
    ad
    mire 
    the 
    most 

    The 
    Father, 
    Son, 
    and 
    the 
    Holy 
    Ghost 

    They 
    caught 
    the 
    last 
    train 
    for 
    the 
    coast 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    music 
    died 

    We 
    started 
    singing 

    Chorus 2
    Bye 
    bye,

    And

    old 
    boys 

    were 
    drinking 
    whiskey 
    and 
    rye 

    Singing 
    this 
    will 
    be 
    the 
    day 
    that 
    die 

    This 
    will 
    be 
    the 
    day 
    that

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
