    Dm             C           F
The day that music died was an awful day
    Dm               C       F
the children started working instead of play
    Dm              C          F
our poets read from scripts to earn their pay
            Dm         C             F
i tell them exit stage left aint got shit to say

      Dm              A                F
Cause music brings us life when we are dead
              C                C7
an honest melody to break the trend
    Dm              A               F
and music brings us hope for future peace
              C            C7
humanity will sing in harmony
  A7           Dm
I pray for that day

this money hungry industry must back away
