 We skipped the light fandango
F                             Dm
 turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G                    Em     G7
 I was feeling kinda seasick
C                             Am  Em
 but the crowd called out for more
F                     Dm
 The room was humming harder
G                     Em  G7
 as the ceiling flew away
C                               Am  Em
 When we called out for another drink
F                     Dm
 the waiter brought a tray
 
G7        C Cmaj7      Am C
And so it was     that later
F                       Dm
 as the miller told his tale
G                             Em
 that her face, at first just ghostly,
G7       C      F        C  G7 C
turned a whiter shade of pale
 
C Am F Dm G Em  G7 C F G F  G7
 
C                       Am
 She said, 'There is no reason
F                          Dm
 and the truth is plain to see.'
G                          Em          G7
 But I wandered through my playing cards
C                      Am  Em
 and would not let her be
F                      Dm
 one of sixteen vestal virgins
G                         Em   G7
 who were leaving for the coast
C                          Am  Em
 and although my eyes were open
F                                     Dm
 they might have just as well've been closed
 
G7        C Cmaj7      Am C
And so it was     that later
F                       Dm
 as the miller told his tale
G                             Em
 that her face, at first just ghostly,
G7       C      F        C  G7 C
turned a whiter shade of pale
 
C Am F Dm G Em  G7 C F G F  G7
