American Pie-Don McLean

[00:00.000] 作曲 : McLean [00:01.820]A long long time ago [00:04.940]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile [00:13.360]And I knew if I had my chance [00:16.860]That I could make those people dance [00:19.480]And maybe they'd be happy for a while. [00:26.720]But February made me shiver [00:30.210]With every paper I'd deliver [00:33.770]Bad news on the doorstep [00:37.200]I couldn't take one more step [00:41.940]I can't remember if I cried [00:44.810]When I read about his widowed bride [00:49.810]But something touched me deep inside [00:54.300]The day the music died [01:04.220]So Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [01:07.900]Drove my chevy to the levee [01:11.080]But the levee was dry [01:13.770]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [01:17.950]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [01:23.500]This'll be the day that I die [01:30.490]Did you write the Book of Love [01:32.680]And do you have faith in God above [01:37.600]If the Bible tells you so [01:39.480]Do you believe in rock 'n roll [01:44.340]Can music save your mortal soul [01:47.710]And can you teach me how to dance real slow [01:54.080]Well' I know that you're in love with him [01:57.760]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym [02:01.250]You both kicked off your shoes [02:04.190]Man' I dig those rhythm and blues [02:08.180]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck [02:11.490]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck [02:14.920]But I knew I was out of luck [02:18.350]The day the music died [02:24.590]I started singin' [02:25.780]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [02:28.650]Drove my chevy to the levee [02:30.640]But the levee was dry [02:32.270]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [02:35.510]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [02:39.630]This'll be the day that I die [02:44.440]Now for ten years we've been on our own [02:47.930]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone [02:51.800]But that's not how it used to be [02:54.860]When the jester sang for the King and Queen [02:59.970]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean [03:03.720]And a voice that came from you and me [03:10.390]Oh' and while the King was looking down [03:14.390]The jester stole his thorny crown [03:17.630]The courtroom was adjourned [03:21.190]No verdict was returned [03:24.000]And while Lennon read a book of Marx [03:27.870]The quartet practiced in the park [03:31.170]And we sang dirges in the dark [03:34.790]The day the music died [03:40.780]We were singing [03:41.840]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [03:44.960]Drove my chevy to the levee [03:46.900]But the levee was dry [03:48.460]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [03:51.890]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [03:56.010]This'll be the day that I die [04:01.380]Helter Skelter in a summer swelter [04:04.180]The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter [04:07.550]Eight miles high and falling fast [04:13.860]It landed foul out on the grass [04:16.230]The players tried for a forward pass [04:19.660]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast [04:23.150]Now the half-time air was sweet perfume [04:30.580]While the Sergeants played a marching tune [04:33.700]We all got up to dance [04:36.820]Oh' but we never got the chance [04:40.690]'Cause the players tried to take the field [04:43.930]The marching band refused to yield [04:47.550]Do you recall what was revealed [04:51.050]The day the music died [04:54.660]We started singing [04:58.280]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [05:01.220]Drove my chevy to the levee [05:03.210]But the levee was dry [05:05.020]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [05:08.390]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [05:12.450]This'll be the day that I die [05:17.320]Oh' and there we were all in one place [05:20.440]A generation Lost in Space [05:24.310]With no time left to start again [05:27.550]So come on' Jack be nimble' Jack be quick [05:32.980]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick [05:36.410]'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend [05:43.150]Oh' and as I watched him on the stage [05:46.520]My hands were clenched in fists of rage [05:49.950]No angel born in hell [05:53.630]Could break that Satan's spell [05:56.380]And as the flames climbed high into the night [06:00.310]To light the sacrifical rite [06:03.740]I saw Satan laughing with delight [06:07.170]The day the music died [06:13.410]He was singing [06:14.350]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [06:17.470]Drove my chevy to the levee [06:18.840]But the levee was dry [06:21.340]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [06:24.580]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [06:28.640]This'll be the day that I die [06:35.000]I met a girl who sang the blues [06:38.120]And I asked her for some happy news [06:42.310]But she just smiled and turned away [06:46.860]I went down to the sacred store [06:49.980]Where I'd heard the music years before [06:53.970]But the man there said the music wouldn't play [07:01.960]And in the streets the children screamed [07:06.200]The lovers cried' and the poets dreamed [07:09.820]But not a word was spoken [07:13.190]The church bells all were broken [07:17.560]And the three men I admire most [07:21.560]The Father' Son and the Holy Ghost [07:25.490]They caught the last train for the coast [07:29.420]The day the music died [07:36.090]And they were singing [07:39.150]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie [07:43.890]Drove my chevy to the levee [07:46.830]But the levee was dry [07:49.390]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [07:54.810]Singin' this'll be the day that I die [07:59.810]This'll be the day that I die [08:05.420]They were singing bye-bye' Miss American Pie [08:11.910]Drove my chevy to the levee [08:14.410]But the levee was dry [08:15.840]Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye [08:18.780]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
