Donald McLean III (born October 2, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his 1971 hit song "American Pie", an 8.5-minute folk rock "cultural touchstone" about the loss of innocence of the early rock and roll generation (US #1 for four weeks in 1972 and UK #2).
McLean's grandfather and father, both also named Donald McLean, had roots originating in Scotland. The Buccis, the family of McLean's mother, Elizabeth, came from Abruzzo in central Italy.

CCmaj7CC7 In someone's hand there is a land FFmC Where I must surely go, where she is FFmCA7 To learn what she must know When she gives AbGG7 all her love away
To him that seems as in her dreams Unbroken by the storm on the sea But quiet deep and warm ever free To give his love away
GG7CA7 And when these two have found the land FGG7 The world is not the same CCmaj7FFm For though it spins when love begins CFG7 The world is not the same
CAmFFm This is one change I always have longed for CAmFG I always belonged more to you than to anyone
And in your hand the stars the sand The rain and wind are new, as we live And learn what love can do When we give all our love away
And now we too have found the land The world is not the same For though it spins when love begins CFG7C The world is not the same CCmaj7FFmCFmGCmaj7
