   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:

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
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.
