Intro.

4 [ch]B/B[/ch]

C C/B Am C/G F    Dm Dm/C G G/F# Em [ch]G7/D[/ch] C F G

C    C/B              Am     C/G
We skipped the light fandango
F                             Dm    Dm/C
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G       G/F#          Em      [ch]G7/D[/ch]
I was feeling kinda seasick
C        C/B           Am         C/G
but the crowd called out for more
F                    Dm     Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G       G/F#          Em    [ch]G7/D[/ch]
as the ceiling flew away
C          C/B            Am     C/G
When we called out for another drink
F                    Dm
the waiter brought a tray

Chorus

G6          C  C/B        Am    C/G
And so it was,___ that later,____
F                       Dm  Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
G   G/F#                  Em           [ch]G7/D[/ch]
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G7
turned a whiter shade of pale

Verse 2

C    C/B              Am     C/G
She said, 'There is no reason
F                             Dm    Dm/C
and the truth is plain to see.'
G       G/F#               Em         [ch]G7/D[/ch]
But I wandered through my playing cards
C        C/B           Am         C/G
and would not let her be
F                      Dm     Dm/C
one of sixteen vestal virgins
G       G/F#          Em    [ch]G7/D[/ch]
who were leaving for the coast
C          C/B            Am     C/G
and although my eyes were open
F                                    Dm
they might have just as well've been closed
