    A long, 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    can still 
    remember

    How 
    that 
    music 
    used 
    to make 
    me 
    smile 

    And 
    I knew 
    if 
    had 
    my 
    chance 

    That 
    could make 
    those 
    people 
    dance 

    And 
    maybe 
    they'd 
    be 
    happy 
    for 
    a while 

    But 
    February 
    made 
    me 
    shiver 

    With 
    every 
    paper 
    I'd 
    deliver 

    Bad 
    news 
    on 
    the door
    step 

    could
    n't 
    take one 
    more 
    step 

    can't 
    remember 
    if 
    cried 

    When I 
    read 
    about 
    his 
    wid
    owed 
    bride 

    But 
    something 
    touched 
    me 
    deep 
    inside 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    music 
    died 

    So 
    bye 
    -bye 
    Miss 
    Amer
    ican 
    Pie 

    Drove 
    my 
    Chevy 
    to 
    the 
    levee 

    But the 
    levee 
    was 
    dry 

    And 
    them 
    good 
    old 
    boys 

    We're 
    drinking 
    whiskey 
    an
    rye, 

    singing 

    this'll 
    be 
    the day 
    that 
    die 

    This'll 
    be the 
    day 
    that 
    die 

    Did 
    you 
    write 
    the 
    book 
    of 
    love 

    and 
    do 
    you 
    have 
    faith 
    in 
    God 
    above? 

    If 
    the 
    Bible 
    tell
    you 
    so 

    How 
    do 
    you 
    believe 
    in 
    rock 
    'n 
    'roll? 

    Can 
    mu
    sic 
    save 
    your 
    mortal 
    soul? 

    And 
    can 
    you 
    teach 
    me 
    how 

    to 
    dance 
    real 
    slow? 

    Well, 
    know 
    that 
    you're 

    in 
    love 
    with 
    him 

    Cause 
    saw 
    you 
    dancing 
    in 
    the 
    gym 

    You 
    both 
    kicked 
    off 
    your 
    shoes 

    Man, 
    dig 
    those 
    rhythmic 
    blues 

    was 
    lonely 
    teen
    age 
    bronkin' 
    buck 

    With 
    pink 
    carnation 
    and 
    pickup 
    truck 

    But 
    knew 
    was 
    out 
    of 
    luck 

    The 
    day 
    the 
    mu
    sic 
    died 

    started 
    singin' 

    Bye, 
    bye 
    Miss 
    Amer
    ican 
    Pie 

    Drove 
    my 
    Chevy 
    to 
    the 
    levee 

    but 
    the 
    levee 
    was 
    dry 

    Them 
    good 
    old 
    boys 

    were 
    drinkin' 
    whiskey 
    and 
    rye 

    This'll 
    be 
    the day 
    that 
    die 

    This'll 
    be 
    the day 
    that 
    die 

    Now 
    for 
    ten 
    years 
    we've 

    been 
    on 
    our 
    own 

    And 
    Moss 
    grows 
    fat 
    on 
    rolling 
    stone 

    But 
    that's 
    not 
    how 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be 

    When 
    the 
    jester 
    sang 
    for 

    the 
    king 
    and 
    queen 

    In 
    coat 
    he 
    borrowed 
    from 
    James 
    Dean 

    And 
    voice 
    that 
    came 
    from 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    Oh, 
    an
    d while 
    the 
    king 

    was 
    look
    ing 
    down 

    The 
    jester 
    stole 
    his 
    thorny 
    crown 

    The 
    courtroom 
    was 
    ad
    journed 

    No 
    verdict 
    was 
    re
    turned 

    And 
    while 
    Lenin 
    read 
    book 
    on 
    Marx 

    quartet 
    practiced 
    in 
    the 
    park 

    And 
    we 
    sang 
    dirges 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    the 
    day 
    the 
    mu
    sic 
    died 

    We 
    were 
    singing 
    bye 
    -bye 

    Miss 
    Amer
    ican 
    Pie 

    Drove 
    my 
    Chevy 
    to 
    the 
    levee 

    but 
    the 
    levee 
    was 
    dry 

    Them 
    good 
    old 
    boys 
    were 
    drinking 

    whis
    key 
    and 
    rye 

    Singing 
    this'll 
    be 
    the day 
    that 
    die 

    This'll 
    be the 
    day 
    that 
    die 

    Helped 
    skelter 
    in 
    summer 
    swelter 

    The 
    bird
    s flew 
    off 
    with 
    fallout 
    shelter 

    Eight 
    miles 
    high 
    and 
    falling 
    fast 

    Landed 
    foul 
    on 
    the 
    grass 

    The 
    players 
    tried 
    for 
    forward 
    pass 

    With 
    jester 
    on 
    the 
    side
    lines 
    in 
    cast 

    Now 
    the 
    halftime 
    air 
    was 
    sweet 
    perfume 

    And 
    while 
    the 
    sergeants 

    played 
    marching 
    tune 

    We 
    all 
    got 
    up 
    to 
    dance 

    Oh, 
    but 
    we 
    never 
    got 
    the 
    chance 

    As 
    the 
    players 
    tried 
    to 
    take 
    the 
    field 

    The 
    marching 
    band 
    re
    fused 
    to 
    yield 

    Do 
    you 
    recall 
    what 
    was 
    revealed 
    the 
    day 

    The 
    mu
    sic 
    died? 

    We

    This'll 
    be 
    the day 
    that 
    die 

    Oh, 
    an
    there 
    we 
    were 
    all 
    in 
    one 
    place 

    generation 
    lost 
    in 
    space 

    With 
    no 
    time 
    left 
    to 
    start 
    again 

    Verse 2
    So 
    come 
    on, 
    Jack, 
    be 
    nimble, 

    Jack
    be 
    quick 

    Verse 3
    Jack

    Verse 5

    Oh, 
    and 
    as 
    watched

    on 
    the 
    stage 

    Verse 6
    My 
    hands 
    were 
    clenched 
    and 
    fists 
    of 
    rage 

    Verse 7
    No 
    angel 
    born 
    in 
    hell 

    Verse 8
    Break

    Satan's 
    spell 

    And 
    as 
    the 
    flames 
    climbed 

    high 
    in
    to 
    the 
    night 

    To 
    light 
    the 
    sacrifi

    This'll

    met 
    girl 
    who 
    sang 
    the 
    blues 

    And 
    asked 
    her 
    for 
    some 
    happy 
    news 

    But 
    she 
    just 
    smiled 
    and 
    turned 
    away 

    went 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    sacred 
    store 

    Where 
    I'd 
    heard 
    the music 
    years 
    before 

    But 
    the 
    man 
    there 
    said 

    the 
    mu
    sic wouldn't 
    play 

    And 
    in 
    the streets 
    the 
    children 
    screamed 

    The 
    lovers 
    cried 
    and 
    the 
    poets dreamed 

    But 
    not a word 
    was 
    spoken 

    The 
    church 
    bells 
    all 
    were broken 

    And 
    the three 
    men 
    ad
    mire 
    most, 

    the Father, 
    Son, 
    and 
    the Holy 
    Ghost, 

    They 
    caught 
    the last 
    train 
    for 
    the 
    coast 

    the 
    day 
    the 
    music

      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 🙂

      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.
