[00:00.000] 作曲 : Don McLean
[00:04.012] A long long time ago
[00:07.983] I can still remember how that music used to make me smile
[00:17.886] And I knew if I had my chance
[00:21.520] That I could make those people dance
[00:25.282] And maybe they'd be happy for a while.
[00:33.084] But February made me shiver
[00:36.742] With every paper I'd deliver
[00:40.198] Bad news on the doorstep
[00:43.720] I couldn't take one more step
[00:47.626] I can't remember if I cried
[00:51.101] When I read about his widowed bride
[00:54.651] But something touched me deep inside
[00:59.573] The day the music died
[01:06.516]
[01:08.932] So Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[01:13.570] Drove my chevy to the levee
[01:16.191] But the levee was dry
[01:18.734] Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[01:23.577] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[01:28.808] This'll be the day that I die
[01:34.271]
[01:34.938] Did you write the Book of Love
[01:37.419] And do you have faith in God above
[01:41.853] If the Bible tells you so
[01:45.252]
[01:46.071] Oh do you believe in rock 'n roll
[01:49.619] Can music save your mortal soul
[01:52.939] And can you teach me how to dance real slow
[01:58.672]
[01:59.505] Well' I know that you're in love with him
[02:03.057] 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
[02:06.746] You both kicked off your shoes
[02:09.588] Man' I dig those rhythm and blue
[02:13.142] I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
[02:16.777] With a pink carnation and a packup truck
[02:20.161] But I knew I was out of luck
[02:23.578] The day the music died
[02:28.421]
[02:29.443] I started singin'
[02:30.634] Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[02:33.735] Drove my chevy to the levee
[02:35.429] But the levee was dry
[02:37.423] Then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[02:40.746] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[02:44.372] This'll be the day that I die
[02:47.165]
[02:49.351] Now for ten years we've been on our own
[02:52.415] And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone
[02:56.591] That's not how it used to be
[03:00.051]
[03:00.936] When the jester sang for the King and Queen
[03:04.497] In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
[03:07.756] And a voice that came from you and me
[03:13.446]
[03:14.520] Oh' and while the King was looking down
[03:18.289] The jester stole his thorny crown
[03:21.544] The courtroom was adjourned
[03:24.653] No verdict was returned
[03:28.035] And while Lennon read a book of Marx
[03:31.903] The quartet practiced in the park
[03:35.064] And we sang dirges in the dark
[03:38.439] The day the music died
[03:43.121]
[03:44.468] We were singing
[03:45.571] Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[03:48.716] Drove my chevy to the levee
[03:50.367] But the levee was dry
[03:52.518] Then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[03:55.526] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[03:59.298] This'll be the day that I die
[04:02.132]
[04:04.347] Helter Skelter in a summer swelter
[04:07.740] The Byrds flew off with a fallout shelter
[04:11.544] Eight miles high and falling fast
[04:14.588]
[04:16.383] It landed foul out on the grass
[04:19.551] The players tried for a forward pass
[04:22.798] With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
[04:28.233]
[04:29.374] Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
[04:32.956] While the Sergeants played a marching tune
[04:36.516] We all got up to dance
[04:39.435] Oh' but we never got the chance
[04:42.840] 'Cause the players tried to take the field
[04:46.684] The marching band refused to yield
[04:50.071] Do you recall what was revealed
[04:53.455] The day the music died
[04:57.691]
[04:59.215] We started singing
[05:00.428] Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[05:03.557] Drove my chevy to the levee
[05:05.239] But the levee was dry
[05:07.235] Then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[05:10.416] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[05:14.033] This'll be the day that I die
[05:17.186]
[05:18.346] Oh' and there we were all in one place
[05:22.531] A generation Lost in Space
[05:26.348] With no time left to start again
[05:29.490]
[05:30.797] So come on' Jack be nimble' Jack be quick
[05:34.344] Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
[05:37.572] 'Cause fire is the Devil's only friend
[05:43.039]
[05:44.310] Oh' and as I watched him on the stage
[05:47.950] My hands were clenched in fists of rage
[05:51.573] No angel born in hell
[05:54.566] Could break that Satan's spell
[05:57.666] And as the flames climbed high into the night
[06:01.390] To light the sacrifical rite
[06:04.776] I saw Satan laughing with deligh
[06:08.228] The day the music died
[06:12.947]
[06:14.006] And he was singing
[06:15.332] Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[06:18.368] Drove my chevy to the levee
[06:20.124] But the levee was dry
[06:22.105] Then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[06:25.200] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[06:28.927] This'll be the day that I die
[06:32.834]
[06:35.022] I met a girl who sang the blues
[06:38.826] And I asked her for some happy news
[06:42.388] But she just smiled and turned away
[06:46.632]
[06:48.535] And I went down to the sacred store
[06:52.050] Where I'd heard the music years before
[06:55.699] But the man there said the music wouldn't play
[07:02.286]
[07:03.471] In the streets the children screamed
[07:07.089] The lovers cried' and the poets dreamed
[07:10.606] But not a word was spoken
[07:14.032] The church bells all were broken
[07:16.980]
[07:18.067] And the three men I admire most
[07:21.637] The Father' Son and the Holy Ghost
[07:25.172] They caught the last train for the coast
[07:30.120] The day the music died
[07:37.499]
[07:39.435] And they were singing
[07:41.232] Bye-bye' Miss American Pie
[07:45.369] Drove my chevy to the levee
[07:47.880] But the levee was dry
[07:50.571] Then good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
[07:55.135] Singin' this'll be the day that I die
[08:01.237] This'll be the day that I die
