American Pie Don McLean 1971 | (Blue Square 101) Donnie Chapman, Chris Hepler |
OPENER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
Allemande left your corner,
turn your partner by the right
Allemande left and weave
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
I drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good old boys was drinking whiskey and rye
Singing "This will be the day that I die"
FIGURE Mainstream - SSD Week 8, corner progression
Heads square thru 4 hands you go
Around the corner with a dosado
Swing thru, boys run right
Bend the line and do a right & left thru
Flutter wheel across and now slide thru
Swing your corner lady and you promenade her too
And teach me how to dance real slow
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads square thru, 4 hands you go
Around the corner with a dosado
Swing thru and then, spin the top, my friend
Boys walk up and do the right & left thru
Square thru and go 3 hands you know
Swing the corner girl and promenade, let's go
But the man there said the music would not play
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
And the 3 men I admire the most
The Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost
They caught the last train to the coast
Allemande left and weave the ring
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
I drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good old boys was drinking whiskey and rye
Singing "This will be the day that I die"
CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 1
Circle left
Did you write the book of love
Do you have faith in God above
Allemande left your corner,
turn your partner by the right
Allemande left and weave
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
I drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And good old boys was drinking whiskey and rye
Singing "This will be the day that I die"
