Intro: C C Am Am F F Dm Dm G G Em Em C F G F G

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

Chorus:
G7          C  C          Am    Am
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       F               Dm  Dm
as the miller told his tale
G   G                    Em           Em
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G6      G6
turned a whiter shade of pale

Interlude: C C Am Am F F Dm Dm G G Em Em C F G F G

Verse 2:
C     C              Am     Am
She said there is no reason
F        F                Dm    Dm
And the truth is plain to see
G       G                  Em       Em
But I wandered through my playing cards
C       C         Am       Am
Would not let her be
F       F             Dm      Dm
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G        G               Em    Em
Who were leaving for the coast
C           C             Am   Am
And although my eyes were o____pen
F       F                    Dm
They might just as well been closed

Chorus:
G7          C  C          Am    Am
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       F               Dm  Dm
as the miller told his tale
G   G                    Em           Em
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G6      G6
turned a whiter shade of pale
