  Verse 1:
C  Em         Am   C
We skipped the light fandango
F   Am          Dm   Dm7
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G   G/F      Em   G/D
I was feeling kinda seasick
C    Em          Am  C
But the crowd called out for more
F  Am        Dm   Dm7
The room was humming harder
G   G/F     Em  G/D
As the ceiling flew away
C    Em       Am   C
When we called out for another drink
F   Am       Dm
The waiter brought a tray


  Chorus:
G     C  Em   Am  C/G
And so it was that later
F   Am       Dm  Dm7
As the miller told his tale
G    G/F         Em   Em/B
That her face, at first just ghostly
     C   F    C   G  G/C
Turned a whiter shade of pale


  Instrumental:
  C  Em  Am     C       F   Am  Dm       Dm7

Verse 2:
C  Em        Am   C
She said, there is no reason
F    Am        Dm  Dm7
And the truth is plain to see
G   G/F         Em      G/D
But I wandered through my playing cards
C     Em     Am  C
And would not let her be
F  Am        Dm   Dm7
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G    G/F       Em  G/D
Who were leaving for the coast
C   Em    Am    C
And although my eyes were open
F     Am            Dm
They might have just as well've been closed


  Chorus:
G     C  Em   Am  C/G
And so it was that later
F   Am       Dm  Dm7
As the miller told his tale
G    G/F         Em   Em/B
That her face, at first just ghostly
     C   F    C   G G/C
Turned a whiter shade of pale


  Instrumental:
  C  Em  Am     C       F   Am  Dm       Dm7

     C   F    C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale.


  Outro:
     C   F    C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
     C   F    C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
     C   F    C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale.
