[00:00.000] 作词 : Don McLean
[00:00.610] 作曲 : McLean
[00:01.220]A long long time ago
[00:04.340]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:12.760]And I knew if I had my chance
[00:16.260]That I could make those people dance
[00:18.880]And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
[00:26.120]But February made me shiver
[00:29.610]With every paper I'd deliver
[00:33.170]Bad news on the doorstep
[00:36.600]I couldn't take one more step
[00:41.340]I can't remember if I cried
[00:44.210]When I read about his widowed bride
[00:49.210]But something touched me deep inside
[00:53.700]The day the music died
[01:01.370]
[01:03.620]So Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[01:07.600]Drove my chevy to the levee
[01:10.780]But the levee was dry
[01:13.470]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:17.650]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[01:23.200]This'll be the day that I die
[01:30.190]Did you write the Book of Love
[01:32.380]And do you have faith in God above
[01:37.300]If the Bible tells you so
[01:39.180]Do you believe in rock 'n roll
[01:44.040]Can music save your mortal soul
[01:47.410]And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:53.780]Well' I know that you're in love with him
[01:58.060]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:01.550]You both kicked off your shoes
[02:04.490]Man' I dig those rhythm and blues
[02:08.480]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:11.790]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
[02:15.220]But I knew I was out of luck
[02:18.650]The day the music died
[02:24.890]I started singin'
[02:26.080]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[02:28.950]Drove my chevy to the levee
[02:30.940]But the levee was dry
[02:32.570]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:35.810]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[02:39.930]This'll be the day that I die
[02:44.170]
[02:44.740]Now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:48.230]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:52.100]But that's not how it used to be
[02:55.160]When the jester sang for the King and Queen
[03:00.270]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:04.020]And a voice that came from you and me
[03:09.380]
[03:10.690]Oh' and while the King was looking down
[03:14.690]The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:17.930]The courtroom was adjourned
[03:21.490]No verdict was returned
[03:24.300]And while Lennin read a book of Marx
[03:28.170]The quartet practiced in the park
[03:31.470]And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:35.090]The day the music died
[03:40.520]
[03:41.080]We were singing
[03:42.140]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[03:45.260]Drove my chevy to the levee
[03:47.200]But the levee was dry
[03:48.760]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:52.190]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[03:56.310]This'll be the day that I die
[03:59.740]
[04:01.680]Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
[04:04.480]The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:07.850]Eight miles high and falling fast
[04:14.160]It landed foul out on the grass
[04:16.530]The players tried for a forward pass
[04:19.960]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:23.450]Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:30.880]While the Sergeants played a marching tune
[04:34.000]We all got up to dance
[04:37.120]Oh' but we never got the chance
[04:40.990]'Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:44.230]The marching band refused to yield
[04:47.850]Do you recall what was revealed
[04:51.350]The day the music died
[04:54.960]We started singing
[04:58.580]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[05:01.520]Drove my chevy to the levee
[05:03.510]But the levee was dry
[05:05.320]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[05:08.690]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[05:12.750]This'll be the day that I die
[05:15.740]
[05:17.920]Oh' and there we were all in one place
[05:21.640]A generation Lost in Space
[05:25.510]With no time left to start again
[05:28.750]So come on' Jack be nimble' Jack be quick
[05:34.180]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:37.610]'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
[05:44.350]Oh' and as I watched him on the stage
[05:47.720]My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:51.150]No angel born in hell
[05:54.830]Could break that Satan's spell
[05:57.580]And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:01.510]To light the sacrifical rite
[06:04.940]I saw Satan laughing with delight
[06:08.370]The day the music died
[06:13.870]
[06:14.610]He was singing
[06:15.550]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[06:18.670]Drove my chevy to the levee
[06:20.040]But the levee was dry
[06:22.540]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:25.780]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[06:29.840]This'll be the day that I die
[06:34.080]
[06:36.200]I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:39.320]And I asked her for some happy news
[06:43.510]But she just smiled and turned away
[06:48.060]I went down to the sacred store
[06:51.180]Where I'd heard the music years before
[06:55.170]But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:01.980]
[07:03.160]And in the streets the children screamed
[07:07.400]The lovers cried' and the poets dreamed
[07:11.020]But not a word was spoken
[07:14.390]The church bells all were broken
[07:18.760]And the three men I admire most
[07:22.760]The Father' Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:26.690]They caught the last train for the coast
[07:30.620]The day the music died
[07:37.290]And they were singing
[07:40.350]Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[07:45.090]Drove my chevy to the levee
[07:48.030]But the levee was dry
[07:50.590]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:56.010]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[08:01.010]This'll be the day that I die
[08:06.620]They were singing bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[08:13.110]Drove my chevy to the levee
[08:15.610]But the levee was dry
[08:17.040]Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
[08:19.980]Singin' this'll be the day that I die
