[Verse 1]
C     Em            Am     C
We skipped the light fandango
F       Am                    Dm     F
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G             Em          G
I was feeling kind of seasick
C           Em               Am       C
But the crowd called out for more
F     Am                Dm       F
The room was humming harder
G              Em       G
As the ceiling flew away
C                   Em           Am       C
When we called out for another drink
F       Am            Dm      F  G
The waiter brought a tray
 
[Refrain]
           C    Em Am    C
And so it was that later
F         Am                Dm      F
As the miller told his tale
G          Em         G
That her face at first just ghostly
          C      F         C      G
Turned a whiter shade of pale

[Verse 2]
C     Em                Am        C
She said there is no reason
F           Am                   Dm      F
And the truth is plain to see......
G      Em                 G
But I wandered through my playing cards
C       Em          Am     C
And would not let her be
F        Am                 Dm        F
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G            Em        G
Who were leaving for the coast
C          Em              Am     C
And although my eyes were open
F     Am                     Dm     G
They might just as well been closed
 
[Refrain]
           C    Em Am    C
And so it was that later
F         Am            Dm      F
As the miller told his tale
G          Em         G
That her face at first just ghostly
            C      F      C      G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
