C Am F Dm G Em G7 C F G F G7

C            Am
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
