American Pie è un celebre brano musicale rock del cantautore statunitense Don McLean. Il brano fa espresso riferimento al “giorno in cui la musica morì“, in inglese “The Day the Music Died“: la locuzione convenzionale con cui viene ricordato il disastro aereo accaduto a Clear Lake, nell’Iowa (Stati Uniti) il 3 febbraio 1959, in cui persero la vita Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens e J.P. Richardson, mentre si recavano a Fargo per un concerto. A partire da questo evento, il testo sembra sviluppare una sorta di storia del rock and roll, fatta di allusioni di non facile interpretazione. Il testo è estremamente oscuro e moltissimi sono stati i tentativi di darne interpretazioni di tipo sociale, politico, religioso, musicologico e così via. McLean non ha mai acconsentito a chiarirne esattamente il significato. Il brano, della durata di 8 minuti e mezzo, fu inciso nel 1971 e pubblicato lo stesso anno sull’album omonimo di McLean. Negli Stati Uniti raggiunse nel 1972 la prima posizione nelle classifiche Billboard Hot 100 per quattro settimane e Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. In Australia è arrivata prima per cinque settimane. American Pie viene considerato una pietra miliare della musica leggera americana. Diverse associazioni lo hanno indicato come uno dei cinque brani musicali più importanti del XX secolo.

* - strimpellare una volta

[Verse 1]

SOL     RE    MIm7

A long, long time ago,

LAm            DO                  MIm                  RE

I can still remember how that music used to make me smile

SOL     RE    MIm7

And I know if I had my chance,

LAm                 DO                MIm              DO            RE

That I could make those people dance and maybe they'd be happy for a while

MIm       LAm              MIm                 LAm

But February made me shiver, with every paper I'd deliver

DO        SOL      LAm             DO                     RE

Bad news on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step

SOL          RE        MIm           LAm7            RE

I can't remember if I cried when I read about his widowed bride

SOL         RE          MIm

Something touched me deep inside

DO      RE7      SOL

The day the music died

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL            DO            SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL            DO            SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

[Verse 2]

SOL                 LAm

Did you write the book of love

DO                 LAm         MIm           RE

And do you have faith in god above, if the bible tells you so?

SOL      RE/FA#        MIm

Do you believe in rock and roll

LAm7            DO                     MIm                      LA7        RE

Can music save your mortal soul and can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Em*                  D*                    Em*             D*

Well I know that you're in love with him  'cuz I saw you dancin' in the gym

DO           SOL        LA7           SOL                    RE7

You both kicked off your shoes, man I dig those rhythm and blues

SOL      RE/FA#     MIm                   LAm                   DO

I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck

SOL     RE/FA#    MIm              DO       RE7    SOL  DO  SOL

But I knew I was out of luck the day the music died, I started singin'

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

[Verse 3]

SOL                   LAm

Now for ten years we've been on our own,

DO                   LAm          MIm                     RE

and moss grows fat on a rolling stone but that's not how it used to be

SOL     RE/FA#            MIm

When the jester sang for the king and queen

LAm7                DO                   MIm             LA7          RE

in a coat he borrowed from James Dean in a voice that came from you and me

MIm*                 RE*               MIm*                 RE*

And while the king was looking down, the jester stole his thorny crown

DO        SOL          LA7    DO             RE7

The courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned

SOL        RE/FA#  MIm             LAm           DO

And while Lenin read a book on Marx, the quartet practiced in the park

SOL        RE/FA#   MIm             DO         RE7     SOL  DO  SOL

And we sang dirges in the dark the day the music died, we were singin'

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

[Verse 4]

SOL                   LAm

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

DO                      LAm                 MIm                     RE

the birds flew off with a fallout shelter, eight miles high and fallin' fast

SOL   RE/FA#  MIm

It landed foul on the grass

LAm7                DO            MIm                            LA7    RE

the players tried for a forward pass, with the jester on the sidelines in a cast

MIm*               RE*                  MIm*                 RE*

Now at halftime there was sweet perfume, while sergeants played a marching tune

DO          SOL        LA7      DO                  RE7

We all got up to dance, but we never got the chance

SOL      RE/FA#      MIm                 LAm              DO

'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield

SOL    RE/FA#       MIm              DO        RE7       SOL  DO  SOL

Do you recall what was the feel the day the music died,    we started singin'

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO        SOL                    RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

[Verse 5]

SOL                LAm

And there we were all in one place,

DO        LAm            MIm                   RE

a generation lost in space, with no time left to start again

SOL      RE/FA#   MIm               LAm7                 DO

So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack Flash sat on a candle

MIm                   LA7             RE

stick, 'cuz fire is the devil's only friend

MIm*              RE*               MIm*                    RE*

And as I watched him on the stage, my hands were clenched in fists of rage

DO      SOL       LA7         DO                  RE7

No angel born in Hell could bread that Satan's spell

SOL            RE/FA#      MIm             LAm              DO

And as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite

SOL   RE/FA#           MIm           DO      RE7      SOL  DO  SOL

I saw Satan laughing with delight the day the music died,     he was singin'

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO                    SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

[Verse 6]

SOL    RE/FA#       MIm

I met a girl who sang the blues

LAm                 DO               MIm                      RE

And I asked her for some happy news, but she just smiled and turned away

SOL       RE/FA#      MIm

I went down to the sacred store

LAm              DO                     MIm                 DO

Where I'd heard the music years before, but the man there said the music

RE

wouldn't play

MIm*                LAm*                    MIm*                  LAm*

But in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed

DO     SOL        LAm          DO                     RE

But not a word was spoken, the church bells all were broken

SOL       RE/FA#   MIm            LAm7     DO             RE7

And the three men I admire most, the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost

SOL             RE/F#A          MIm               LAm7     RE7    SOL

They caught the last train for the coast the day the music died,

N.C.

And they were singin'

[Chorus]

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

MIm*                         LA7*   MIm*                         RE7

Singin' this will be the day that I die, this will be the day that I die

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

So bye, bye Miss American Pie

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

Drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry

SOL    DO        SOL        RE

And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye

DO                RE7         SOL   DO   SOL

Singin' this will be the day that I die.
