Verse 1 (same for Verse 2, verse 2 lyrics at bottom)

C majorC  Em/B       A minorAm   C/GC/G
We skipped the light fandango
FF  F/E           DmDm  Dm/C
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G+G    G/F     E minorEm   G7/D
I was feeling kinda seasick
C majorC    Em/B      A minorAm     C/GC/G
but the crowd called out for more
FF    F/E     DmDm   Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G+G    G/F     E minorEm  G7/D
as the ceiling flew away
C majorC     Em/B      A minorAm   C/GC/G
When we called out for another drink
FF    F/E     DmDm
the waiter brought a tray

Chorus

G+G     C majorC Em/B    A minorAm  C/GC/G
And so it was,___ that later,____
FF    F/E       DmDm Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
G+G  G/F         E minorEm      G7/D
that her face, at first just ghostly,
      C majorC  FF    C majorC  G7G7
turned a whiter shade of pale

Instrumental - Same as Intro

Verse 2

She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed

Chorus

Instrumental 2 (same as intro)
