Intro: C majorC Em/B A minorAm C/GC/G FF F/E DmDm Dm/C G+G G/F E minorEm G7/D C majorC FF G+G


Verse 1:

C majorC  E minorEm        A minorAm   C/GC/G
We skipped the light fandango
FF              DmDm  Dm/C
turned cartwheels across the floor
G+G          E minorEm   G7G7
I was feeling kinda seasick

C majorC    E minorEm       A minorAm     C/GC/G
but the crowd called out for more
FF          DmDm   Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G+G          E minorEm  G7G7
as the ceiling flew away

C majorC     E minorEm       A minorAm   C/GC/G
When we called out for another drink
FF          DmDm
the waiter brought a tray

Chorus 1:

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

Verse 2:

C majorC      E minorEm   A minorAm   C/GC/G
She said there is no reason
FF             DmDm  Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see.'
G+G             E minorEm      G7G7
But I wandered through my playing cards

C majorC   E minorEm       A minorAm C/GC/G
And would not let her be
FF        DmDm   Dm/C
One of 16 vestal virgins
G+G            E minorEm  G7G7
Who were leaving for the coast

C majorC        E minorEm     A minorAm C/GC/G
And although my eyes were open
FF                  DmDm
They might have just as well've been closed

Chorus 2:


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

Chorus 3/Outro:


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