Lyrics:

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


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


Repeat Intro


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


Chorus x 2:
G         C   C/B  Am    Am/G
And so it was that later
F      F/E             Dm     C
As the miller told his tale
G        G/F                 Em          G
That her face, at first just ghostly
         C      F        C
Turned a whiter shade of pale
