《American Pie(Live/1971)》歌词

[00:00:01] A long long time ago

[00:00:05] 　　I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

[00:00:13] 　　And I knew if I had my chance

[00:00:17] 　　That I could make those people dance

[00:00:20] 　　And maybe they'd be happy for a while

[00:00:27] 　　But February made me shiver

[00:00:30] 　　With every paper I'd deliver

[00:00:34] 　　Bad news on the doorstep

[00:00:37] 　　I couldn't take one more step

[00:00:42] 　　I can't remember if I cried

[00:00:45] 　　When I read about his widowed bride

[00:00:49] 　　But something touched me deep inside

[00:00:54] 　　The day the music died

[00:01:03] 　　So Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:01:08] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:01:11] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:01:14] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:01:18] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:01:23] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:01:29] 　　Did you write the Book of Love

[00:01:33] 　　And do you have faith in God above

[00:01:36] 　　If the Bible tells you so

[00:01:41] 　　Do you believe in rock 'n roll

[00:01:45] 　　Can music save your mortal soul

[00:01:48] 　　And can you teach me how to dance real slow

[00:01:54] 　　Well I know that you're in love with him

[00:01:59] 　　'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym

[00:02:02] 　　You both kicked off your shoes

[00:02:05] 　　Man I dig those rhythm and blues

[00:02:08] 　　I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck

[00:02:12] 　　With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

[00:02:15] 　　But I knew I was out of luck

[00:02:19] 　　The day the music died

[00:02:23] 　　I started singin'

[00:02:26] 　　Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:02:28] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:02:31] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:02:33] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:02:36] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:02:40] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:02:45] 　　Now for ten years we've been on our own

[00:02:48] 　　And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone

[00:02:52] 　　But that's not how it used to be

[00:02:57] 　　When the jester sang for the King and Queen

[00:03:01] 　　In a coat he borrowed from James Dean

[00:03:04] 　　And a voice that came from you and me

[00:03:11] 　　Oh and while the King was looking down

[00:03:15] 　　The jester stole his thorny crown

[00:03:19] 　　The courtroom was adjourned

[00:03:22] 　　No verdict was returned

[00:03:24] 　　And while Lennon read a book of Marx

[00:03:29] 　　The quartet practiced in the park

[00:03:32] 　　And we sang dirges in the dark

[00:03:36] 　　The day the music died

[00:03:38] 　　We were singing

[00:03:43] 　　Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:03:46] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:03:48] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:03:50] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:03:53] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:03:57] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:03:59] 　　Helter Skelter in a summer swelter

[00:04:05] 　　The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter

[00:04:09] 　　Eight miles high and falling fast

[00:04:15] 　　It landed foul out on the grass

[00:04:17] 　　The players tried for a forward pass

[00:04:21] 　　With the jester on the sidelines in a cast

[00:04:28] 　　Now the half-time air was sweet perfume

[00:04:32] 　　While the Sergeants played a marching tune

[00:04:35] 　　We all got up to dance

[00:04:37] 　　Oh but we never got the chance

[00:04:43] 　　'Cause the players tried to take the field

[00:04:45] 　　The marching band refused to yield

[00:04:50] 　　Do you recall what was revealed

[00:04:53] 　　The day the music died

[00:04:58] 　　We started singing

[00:05:00] 　　Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:05:01] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:05:04] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:05:06] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:05:10] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:05:13] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:05:16] 　　Oh and there we were all in one place

[00:05:22] 　　A generation Lost in Space

[00:05:26] 　　With no time left to start again

[00:05:31] 　　So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick

[00:05:34] 　　Jack Flash sat on a candlestick

[00:05:38] 　　'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend

[00:05:41] 　　Oh and as I watched him on the stage

[00:05:48] 　　My hands were clenched in fists of rage

[00:05:52] 　　No angel born in hell

[00:05:55] 　　Could break that Satan's spell

[00:05:58] 　　And as the flames climbed high into the night

[00:06:02] 　　To light the sacrifical rite

[00:06:06] 　　I saw Satan laughing with delight

[00:06:09] 　　The day the music died

[00:06:15] 　　He was singing

[00:06:17] 　　Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:06:19] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:06:21] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:06:23] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:06:26] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:06:30] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:06:37] 　　I met a girl who sang the blues

[00:06:40] 　　And I asked her for some happy news

[00:06:44] 　　But she just smiled and turned away

[00:06:49] 　　I went down to the sacred store

[00:06:52] 　　Where I'd heard the music years before

[00:06:56] 　　But the man there said the music wouldn't play

[00:07:04] 　　And in the streets the children screamed

[00:07:08] 　　The lovers cried and the poets dreamed

[00:07:11] 　　But not a word was spoken

[00:07:15] 　　The church bells all were broken

[00:07:20] 　　And the three men I admire most

[00:07:24] 　　The Father Son and the Holy Ghost

[00:07:28] 　　They caught the last train for the coast

[00:07:32] 　　The day the music died

[00:07:39] 　　And they were singing

[00:07:41] 　　Bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:07:46] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:07:49] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:07:52] 　　And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

[00:07:57] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die

[00:08:02] 　　This'll be the day that I die

[00:08:08] 　　They were singing bye-bye Miss American Pie

[00:08:15] 　　Drove my chevy to the levee

[00:08:17] 　　But the levee was dry

[00:08:20] 　　Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye

[00:08:28] 　　Singin' this'll be the day that I die
