American Pie - Madonna(capo 2)

A long, long time ago,

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

And I know that if I had my chance,

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

Did you write the book of love

And do you have faith in God above, if the Bible tells you so?

Now do you believe in rock and roll

Think that music save your mortal soul if you will teach me how to dance real slow?

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

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

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

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

I met a girl who sang the blues

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

Then I went down to the sacred store

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

wouldn't play

Well, now in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cry and the poets dream

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

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

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

We started singin'

We started singin'

We started singin'

We started singin'

We started singin'
