That I could make those people dance

But February made me shiver
Am
Dm
With every paper I'd deliver

C
Dm
Bad news on the doorstep
F
G
I couldn't take one more step
C

The day the music died

Did you write the book of love

'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

The day the music died

Verse 3
C
Dm
Now, for ten years we've been on our own
F
Dm
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone

When the jester sang for the king and queen

In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

And a voice that came from you and me

Oh, and while the king was looking down
Am

The jester stole his thorny crown

The courtroom was adjourned
F

No verdict was returned

And while Lennon read a book on Marx

The quartet practiced in the park

And we sang dirges in the dark

G
C
F
The day the music died
C
G
We were singin'

Verse 4
C
Dm
Helter skelter in a summer swelter
F
Dm
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Am

Eight miles high and falling fast
C

Am
It landed foul on the grass
Dm
F
The players tried for a forward pass
Am
D
G
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
Am
G
Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
Am
G
While the sergeants played a marching tune
F
C
Dm
We all got up to dance
F
G
Oh, but we never got the chance
C
G
Am
'Cause the players tried to take the field

The marching band refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed
F
G
C
F
The day the music died
C
G
We started singin'

Verse 5
C
Dm
Oh, and there we were all in one place
F

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Dm
F
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
Am
D

'Cause fire is the devil's only friend
Am

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
Am

My hands were clenched in fists of rage
F

Dm
No angel born in Hell
F

Could break that Satan's spell
C
G
Am
And as the flames climbed high in to the night
Dm

To light the sacrificial rite
C

I saw Satan laughing with delight
F
G
C
F
The day the music died
C
G
He was singin'

Verse 6
C
G
Am
I met a girl who sang the blues
Dm
F
And I asked her for some happy news
Am
G
But she just smiled and turned away
C
G
Am
I went down to the sacred store
Dm
F
Where I'd heard the music years before
Am

But the man there said the music wouldn't play
Am
Dm
And in the streets the children screamed
Am
Dm
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
F

But not a word was spoken
F
G
The church bells all were broken
C
G

And the three men I admire most
F

The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
C

Am
They caught the last train for the coast
F
G
C
The day the music died
