A G long, D long Em time ago,

Em and maybe they'd C by happy fo D r a while.
Em But Febru Am ary made me shiver, w Em ith every pa Am per I'd deliver.
C Bad news G on the Am doorstep; I C couldn't take D one more step
G I can't D remembe Em r if I cried, when Am I read about hi D s widowed bride;
G something D touched me Em deep inside, the C day the D7 music G died C . G
G So, C bye-bye, M G iss Ameri D can Pie, drove G my Chevy to C the levee but the
G levee was D dry. Them G good ole C boys were drinking G whiskey and D rye, singing
Em this'll be the day that I A7 die, Em this'll be the day that I D7 die.
G Did you write the Am, book of love, and do C you have faith in Am God above,
Em if the D Bible tells you so? G Now do D you beli Em eve in rock and roll,
Am can music save y C our mortal soul? Em And can you teach me how A7 to dance r D7 eal slow?
Em Well I know that you Am 're in love with him, 'c Em ause I saw you d Am ancing in the gym
C You b G oth kicked off y A7 our shoes, ma C n I dig those rhythm D7 and blues!
G I was a D lonely Em teenage bronching buck, Am with a pink carnatio C n and a pick-up truck.

G Now for ten years, we' Am ve been on our o C wn; and moss grows f Am at on a rolling stone,

Am Queen, in a coat C he borrowed from James Em Dean, and a voice tha A7 t came f D7 rom you and me
Em Oh, and while the k Am ing was looking do Em wn, the jester st Am ole his thorny crown;
C the court r G oom wa A7 s adjourned, C no verdict wa D7 s returned.

G Helter skelter Am in the summer swelter, the C birds flew off with a Am fallout shelter;
Em eight miles high and falling D fast. It G landed D foul Em on the grass,
Am the players tried fo C r a forward pass; with Em the jester on the sideli A7 nes i D7 n a cast
Em The half time air Am was sweet perfume, while Em the sergeants playe Am d a marching tune;
we C all got G up to A7 dance, but we C never got the D7 chance. 'Cause
G the play D ers tried Em to take the field, but Am the marching ban C d refused to yield
G Do you D recall wh Em at was revealed, t C he day t D7 he mus G ic C die G d?

G Oh, and there we w Am ere all in one p C lace, a gen Am eration lost in space;
Em with no time left, to st D art again. So come G on, Jac D k be nim Em ble, jack be quick,
Am Jack flash sat on a C candlestick, 'cause Em fire is the A7 devil's only D7 friend.
Em And as I watched Am him on the stage, Em my hands were clenched Am in fists of rage.
C No ang G el born A7 in hell, cou C ld break that Satan D7 ’s spell
G And as the flam D es clim Em bed high into the Am night, to ligh C t the sacrificial rite;
G I saw D Satan lau Em ghing with delight C , the da D7 y the G musi C c G died.
