[ti:American Pie] [ar:Studio Musicians] [al:The Hits of Harry Chapin and Don Mclean] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]American Pie (美国派) - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家) [00:03.94]A long long time ago [00:07.82]I can still remember how that music used to make me smile [00:15.83]And I knew if I had my chance [00:19.59]That I could make those people dance [00:23.16]And maybe they'd be happy for a while [00:30.13]But February made me shiver [00:33.71]With every paper I'd deliver [00:37.02]Bad news on the doorstep [00:40.47]I couldn't take one more step [00:44.61]I can't remember if I cried [00:47.50]When I read about his widowed bride [00:51.12]But something touched me deep inside [00:55.27]The day the music died [01:02.37] [01:05.31]So bye-bye Miss American Pie [01:09.51]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [01:14.73]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [01:19.04]Singin' "This'll be the day that I die [01:24.30]This'll be the day that I die" [01:31.02]Did you write the book of love [01:33.41]And do you have faith in God above [01:37.61]If the Bible tells you so [01:42.02]Now do you believe in rock and roll [01:45.36]Can music save your mortal soul [01:49.35]And can you teach me how to dance real slow [01:55.80]Well I know that you're in love with him [01:59.25]'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym [02:03.05]You both kicked off your shoes [02:06.02]Man I dig those rhythm and blues [02:09.43]I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck [02:13.10]With a pink carnation and a pickup truck [02:16.03]But I knew I was out of luck [02:19.95]The day the music died [02:25.75]I started singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [02:29.80]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [02:33.72]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [02:36.79]Singin' "This'll be the day that I die [02:40.76]This'll be the day that I die" [02:45.31]Now for ten years we've been on our own [02:48.85]And moss grows fat on a rollin' stone [02:52.88]But that's not how it used to be [02:57.25]When the jester sang for the king and queen [03:01.02]In a coat he borrowed from James Dean [03:04.31]And a voice that came from you and me [03:10.91]Oh and while the king was looking down [03:14.80]The jester stole his thorny crown [03:18.36]The courtroom was adjourned [03:21.50]No verdict was returned [03:24.50]And while Lenin read a book on Marx [03:28.59]A quartet practiced in the park [03:32.14]And we sang dirges in the dark [03:34.96]The day the music died [03:40.82]We were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [03:44.83]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [03:47.72] [03:48.67]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [03:51.68]Singin' "This'll be the day that I die [03:55.39]This'll be the day that I die" [04:00.58]Helter skelter in a summer swelter [04:03.55]The birds flew off with a fallout shelter [04:06.81] [04:07.53]Eight miles high and falling fast [04:12.64]It landed foul on the grass [04:15.84]The players tried for a forward pass [04:19.08]With the jester on the sidelines in a cast [04:25.37]Now the halftime air was sweet perfume [04:28.91]While the sergeants played a marching tune [04:32.71]We all got up to dance [04:35.49]Oh but we never got the chance [04:38.91]'Cause the players tried to take the field [04:42.66]The marching band refused to yield [04:45.96]Do you recall what was revealed [04:49.09]The day the music died [04:54.86]We started singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [04:58.90]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [05:02.60]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [05:05.62]And singin' "This'll be the day that I die [05:09.46]This'll be the day that I die" [05:13.54]Oh and there we were all in one place [05:17.59]A generation lost in space [05:21.11]With no time left to start again [05:25.63]So come on Jack be nimble Jack be quick [05:29.45]Jack Flash sat on a candlestick [05:32.82]'Cause fire is the devil's only friend [05:39.06]Oh and as I watched him on the stage [05:42.64]My hands were clenched in fists of rage [05:46.14]No angel born in Hell [05:49.48]Could break that Satan's spell [05:52.28]And as the flames climbed high into the night [05:55.90]To light the sacrificial rite [05:59.68]I saw Satan laughing with delight [06:02.47]The day the music died [06:08.16]He was singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [06:12.13]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [06:15.79]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [06:18.73]And singin' "This'll be the day that I die [06:22.55]This'll be the day that I die" [06:27.44] [06:28.29]I met a girl who sang the blues [06:31.81]And I asked her for some happy news [06:35.73]But she just smiled and turned away [06:39.44]I went down to the sacred store [06:42.32]Where I'd heard the music years before [06:46.51]But the man there said the music wouldn't play [06:53.22]And in the streets the children screamed [06:57.02]The lovers cried and the poets dreamed [07:01.13]But not a word was spoken [07:04.37]The church bells all were broken [07:08.08]And the three men I admire most [07:11.85]The Father Son and the Holy Ghost [07:15.53]They caught the last train for the coast [07:19.34]The day the music died [07:25.18]And they were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [07:30.90]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [07:36.04]And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [07:40.28]Singin' "This'll be the day that I die [07:45.79]This'll be the day that I die" [07:51.00]They were singin' bye-bye Miss American Pie [07:56.61]Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry [08:01.56]Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye [08:05.76]And singin' "This'll be the day that I die"
