[00:01:00] A long long time ago
[00:05:00] 　　I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:13:00] 　　And I knew if I had my chance
[00:17:00] 　　That I could make those people dance
[00:20:00] 　　And maybe they'd be happy for a while 
[00:27:00] 　　But February made me shiver
[00:30:00] 　　With every paper I'd deliver
[00:34:00] 　　Bad news on the doorstep
[00:37:00] 　　I couldn't take one more step
[00:42:00] 　　I can't remember if I cried
[00:45:00] 　　When I read about his widowed bride
[00:49:00] 　　But something touched me deep inside
[00:54:00] 　　The day the music died
[01:03:00] 　　So Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[01:08:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[01:11:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[01:14:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:18:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[01:23:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[01:29:00] 　　Did you write the Book of Love
[01:33:00] 　　And do you have faith in God above
[01:36:00] 　　If the Bible tells you so
[01:41:00] 　　Do you believe in rock 'n roll
[01:45:00] 　　Can music save your mortal soul
[01:48:00] 　　And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:54:00] 　　Well  I know that you're in love with him
[01:59:00] 　　'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:02:00] 　　You both kicked off your shoes
[02:05:00] 　　Man  I dig those rhythm and blues
[02:08:00] 　　I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:12:00] 　　With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:15:00] 　　But I knew I was out of luck
[02:19:00] 　　The day the music died
[02:23:00] 　　I started singin'
[02:26:00] 　　Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[02:28:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[02:31:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[02:33:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:36:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[02:40:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[02:45:00] 　　Now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:48:00] 　　And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:52:00] 　　But that's not how it used to be
[02:57:00] 　　When the jester sang for the King and Queen
[03:01:00] 　　In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:04:00] 　　And a voice that came from you and me
[03:11:00] 　　Oh  and while the King was looking down
[03:15:00] 　　The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:19:00] 　　The courtroom was adjourned
[03:22:00] 　　No verdict was returned
[03:24:00] 　　And while Lennon read a book of Marx
[03:29:00] 　　The quartet practiced in the park
[03:32:00] 　　And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:36:00] 　　The day the music died
[03:38:00] 　　We were singing
[03:43:00] 　　Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[03:46:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[03:48:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[03:50:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:53:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[03:57:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[03:59:00] 　　Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
[04:05:00] 　　The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:09:00] 　　Eight miles high and falling fast
[04:15:00] 　　It landed foul out on the grass
[04:17:00] 　　The players tried for a forward pass
[04:21:00] 　　With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:28:00] 　　Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:32:00] 　　While the Sergeants played a marching tune
[04:35:00] 　　We all got up to dance
[04:37:00] 　　Oh  but we never got the chance
[04:43:00] 　　'Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:45:00] 　　The marching band refused to yield
[04:50:00] 　　Do you recall what was revealed
[04:53:00] 　　The day the music died
[04:58:00] 　　We started singing
[05:00:00] 　　Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[05:01:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[05:04:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[05:06:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[05:10:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[05:13:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[05:16:00] 　　Oh  and there we were all in one place
[05:22:00] 　　A generation Lost in Space
[05:26:00] 　　With no time left to start again
[05:31:00] 　　So come on  Jack be nimble  Jack be quick
[05:34:00] 　　Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:38:00] 　　'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
[05:41:00] 　　Oh  and as I watched him on the stage
[05:48:00] 　　My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:52:00] 　　No angel born in hell
[05:55:00] 　　Could break that Satan's spell
[05:58:00] 　　And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:02:00] 　　To light the sacrifical rite
[06:06:00] 　　I saw Satan laughing with delight
[06:09:00] 　　The day the music died
[06:15:00] 　　He was singing
[06:17:00] 　　Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[06:19:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[06:21:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[06:23:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:26:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[06:30:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[06:37:00] 　　I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:40:00] 　　And I asked her for some happy news
[06:44:00] 　　But she just smiled and turned away
[06:49:00] 　　I went down to the sacred store
[06:52:00] 　　Where I'd heard the music years before
[06:56:00] 　　But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:04:00] 　　And in the streets the children screamed
[07:08:00] 　　The lovers cried  and the poets dreamed
[07:11:00] 　　But not a word was spoken
[07:15:00] 　　The church bells all were broken
[07:20:00] 　　And the three men I admire most
[07:24:00] 　　The Father  Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:28:00] 　　They caught the last train for the coast
[07:32:00] 　　The day the music died
[07:39:00] 　　And they were singing
[07:41:00] 　　Bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[07:46:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[07:49:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[07:52:00] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:57:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[08:02:00] 　　This'll be the day that I die
[08:08:00] 　　They were singing bye-bye  Miss American Pie
[08:15:00] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee
[08:17:00] 　　But the levee was dry
[08:20:00] 　　Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[08:28:00] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
