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

Chorus:
 
G         C G/B    Am C/G F
And so it was that later
       C/E             Dm  F/C G
As the miller told his tale
         G/F                Em    G/D
That her face at first just ghostly
         C      F        C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C G/B Am C/G
F C/E Dm F/C
G G/F Em G/D
C F G
 
 
Verse 2:
 
C   G/B              Am  C/G F
She said there is no reason
        C/E               Dm F/C G
And the truth is plain to see
      G/F               Em        G/D  C
But I wandered while my playing cards
    G/B               Am C/G F
And would not let her be
       C/E            Dm  F/C G
One of sixteen vestal virgins
         G/F             Em G/D C
Who were leaving for the coast
      G/B       Am         C/G F
And although my eyes were open
           C/E               Dm
They might just as well been closed
 
 
Chorus 2:
 
G         C G/B    Am C/G F
And so it was that later
       C/E             Dm  F/C G
As the miller told his tale
         G/F                Em    G/D
That her face at first just ghostly
         C      F        C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
 
 
[Interlude]
 
C G/B Am C/G
F C/E Dm F/C
G G/F Em G/D
C F G
 
 
Chorus 3:
 
G         C G/B    Am C/G F
And so it was that later
       C/E             Dm  F/C G
As the miller told his tale
         G/F                Em    G/D
That her face at first just ghostly
         C      F        C   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
  C      F        C   G
A whiter shade of pale
  C      F        C   G C F C
A whiter shade of pale
