[G] Help, you know I need someone
[C] Help!!!

When [C] I was younger
So much [Em] younger than today
I never [Am] needed anybody's [F] help in [Bb] any- [C] way
But now these [C] days are gone, I'm not so [Em] self assured,
Now I find [Am] I've changed my mind
I've [F] opened [Bb] up the [C] doors.

[Dm] Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
[Bb] And i do appreciate you being 'round.
[G] Help me get my feet back on the ground,
[C] Won't you please, please help me?

And [C] now my life has changed
In [Em] oh so many ways,
My [Am] independence seems to [F] vanish [Bb] in the [C] haze.
But every [C] now and then
I feel so [Em] insecure,
I know that [Am] I just need you like,
I've [F] never [Bb] done be- [C] fore.

[Dm] Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
[Bb] And i do appreciate you being 'round.

American Pie

by Don McLean













Verse 1

A [G] long [D] long [Em] time ago
[Am] I can still re- [C] member
How that [Em] music used to make me [D] smile
And [G] I knew [D] if I had [Em] my chance
That [Am] I could make those [C] people dance
and [Em] maybe they'd be [C] happy for a [D] while.
But [Em] February [Am] made me shiver
[Em] With every paper [Am] I'd deliver
[C] Bad news [G] on the [Am] doorstep
I [C] couldn't take one [D] more step
I [G] can't re- [D] member if I [Em] cried
When I [Am] read about his [D] widowed bride
But [G] something [D] touched me [Em]deep inside
The[C] day the [D7] music [G] died. [D7] So...

Chorus

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

Verse 2

[G] Did you write the [Am] book of love
And do [C] you have faith in [Am] God above?
[Em] If the Bible [D] tells you so
Do [G] you be- [D] lieve in [Em] Rock 'n Roll?
Can [Am] music save your [C] mortal soul?
And [Em] can you teach me [A7] how to dance [D] real slow?
Well, I [Em] know that you're in [D] love with him
'Cause I [Em] saw you dancin' [D] in the gym
You [C] both kicked [G] off your [D] shoes.
Man, I [C] dig those [G] rythm 'n [D7] blues
I was a [G] lonely [D] teenage [Em] broncin' buck
With a [Am] pink carnation and a [C] pickup truck
But [G] I knew [D] I was [Em] out of luck
The [C] day the [D7] music [G] died. [D7] I started singin'...

Chorus

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

Verse 3

[G] Now for ten years we've been [Am] on our own
And [C] moss grows fat on a [Am] rollin' stone
[Em] But that's not how it [D] used to be
When the [G] jester [D] sang for the [Em] King and Queen
In a [Am] coat he borrowed [C] from James Dean
And a [Em] voice that [A7] came from [D] you and me
Oh, and [Em] while the King was [D] looking down
The [Em] jester stole his [D] thorny crown
The [C] courtroom [G] was ad- [D] journed
No [C] verdict [G] was re- [D7] turned
And while [G] Lennon read a [Em] book of Marx
The [Am] court kept practice [C] in the park
And [G] we sang [D] dirges [Em] in the dark
The [C] day the [D7] music [G] died. [D7] We were singing...

Chorus

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

Verse 4

[G] Helter-Skelter in a [Am] summer swelter
The [C] Byrds flew off with a [Am] fallout shelter
[Em] Eight Miles High and [D] falling fast
It [G] landed [D] foul out [Em] on the grass
The [Am] players tried [C] for a forward pass
But the [Em] jester's [A7] on the sidelines [D] in a cast
Now the [Em] half-time air was [D] sweet perfume
While the [Em] sergeants played a [D] marching tune
[C] We all [G] got up to [D7] dance
But we [C] never got [D7] the chance
'Cause the [G] players [D] tried to [Em] take the field
The [Am] marching band re- [C] fused to yield
[G] Do you [D] recall [Em] what was revealed
The [C] day the [D7] music [G] died? [D7] We stared singing...

Chorus

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

Verse 5

[G] Oh, and there we were [Am] all in one place
A [C] generation [Am] lost in space
[Em] With no time left to [D] start again
So come on, [G] Jack be nimble [Em] Jack be quick
Jack [Am] Flash sat on a [C] candlestick
'Cause [Em] fire is the [A7] devil's only [D] friend
Oh, and [Em] as I watched him [D] on the stage
My [Em] hands were clenched in [D] fists of rage
[C] No angel [G] born in [D] hell
Could [C] break that [G] Satan's [D7] spell
And as the [G] flames climbed [D] high in- [Em] to the night
To [Am] light the sacri- [C] ficial rite
I saw [G] satan [D] laughing [Em] with delight
The [C] day the [D7] music [G] died. [D7] He was singing...

Chorus

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

Verse 6

I [G] met a [D] girl who [Em] sang the blues
And I [Am] asked her for some [C] happy news
But [Em] she just smiled and [D] turned away
[G] I went down [D] to the sacred [Em] store
Where I'd [Am] heard the music [C] years before
But the [Em] man there said the [A7] music wouldn't [D] play
And in the [Em] streets the children [Am] screamed
The [Em] lovers cried, and the poets [Am] dreamed
[C] But not a [G] word was [Am] spoken
The [C] church bells all were [D7] broken
And the [G] three men I ad- [D] mire [Em] most
The [Am] Father, Son and the [C] Holy Ghost
They [G] caught the [D] last train [Em] for the coast
The [C] day the [D7] music [G] died. [D7] And they were singing...

Chorus x2

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [Em] this'll be the day that I [A] die
[Em] This'll be the day that I [D7] die.

[G] bye [C] bye Miss A- [G] merican [D7] Pie
Drove my [G] chevy to the [C] levy
But the [G] levy was [D7] dry
And them [G] good old [C] boys
Were drinking [G] whiskey and [D7] rye
Singin' [C] this'll be the [D7] day that I [G] die
