INTRO

A long, long time ago, I can still remember
The day the music died


OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Circle left
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry

Left allemande the corner, turn a right hand round your own
Left allemande and weave the ring
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Swing your girl and promenade her I cry
Them good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this'll be the day that I die


FIGURE    Basic - SSD Week 10, corner progression

Heads promenade halfway round
Walk in and square thru 4 hands round
Go all the way and do a right and left thru
Veer left and ferris wheel around you do
Square thru 3 hands around
Swing your corner girl and promenade my friend
The day the music died

TAG
