Mathematical Pi - Arthur Benjamin Lyrics transcribed from his Mathemagical show at the World Science Festival 2009: http://vimeo.com/6645221 Chords taken from Don McLean's "American Pie" (ver 2): http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/d/don_mclean/american_pie_ver2_crd.htm
  G    D    Em7
A long long time ago

Am            C
I can still remember

       Em                         D
how my math class used to make me snore

       G     D      Em7
'cause every number we would meet

      Am           C
would terminate or just repeat

    Em               C                D 
but maybe there were numbers that did more

    Em              Am
but then my teacher said "I dare ya'"

   Em              Am
to try to find the circle's area

C          G     Am
despite my every action

C                 D
I couldn't find a fraction

  G          D        Em
I can't remember if I cried

    Am7             D
the more I tried or circumscribed

    G         D          Em
but something touched me deep inside

    C     D7         G   C   G
the day I learned of pi

   G   C       G       D
oh pi, pi mathematical pi

       G          C          G           D
twice eleven over seven is a mighty fine try

  G        C                G       D
a good old fraction you may hope to supply

        Em                      A7
but the decimal expansion won't die

    Em                      D7
the decimal expansion won't die

G   C       G       D
pi, pi mathematical pi

  G   C   G  D
3.141592653589

  G        C                G       D
a good old fraction you may hope to define

        C         D7            G   C   G
but the decimal expansion won't die
