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
  F    G    Dm7
A long long time ago

Dm            F
I can still remember

       Am                         G
how my math class used to make me snore

       F     G      Dm7
'cause every number we would meet

      Dm           F
would terminate or just repeat

    Am               F                G 
but maybe there were numbers that did more

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

   Am              Dm
to try to find the circle's area

F          F     Dm
despite my every action

F                 G
I couldn't find a fraction

  F          G        Am
I can't remember if I cried

    Dm7             G
the more I tried or circumscribed

    F         G          Am
but something touched me deep inside

    F     G7         F   F   F
the day I learned of pi

   F   F       F       G
oh pi, pi mathematical pi

       F          F          F           G
twice eleven over seven is a mighty fine try

  F        F                F       G
a good old fraction you may hope to supply

        Am                      D7
but the decimal expansion won't die

    Am                      G7
the decimal expansion won't die

F   F       F       G
pi, pi mathematical pi

  F   F   F  G
3.141592653589

  F        F                F       G
a good old fraction you may hope to define

        F         G7            F   F   F
but the decimal expansion won't die
