Intro: C C/B Am C/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em G7/D C F G
Verse 1:
C C/B Am C/G
We skipped the light fandango
F Dm Dm/C
turned cartwheels across the floor
G Em G7
I was feeling kinda seasick
C C/B Am C/G
but the crowd called out for more
F Dm Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G Em G7
as the ceiling flew away
C C/B Am C/G
When we called out for another drink
F Dm
the waiter brought a tray
Chorus 1:
G C C/B Am C/G
And so it waaaaas,that later,
F Dm Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
G Em G7
that her face, at first just ghostly,
C F C G7
turned a whiter shade of pale
[Instrumental Break - play intro]
C C/B Am C/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em G7/D C F G
Verse 2:
C C/B Am C/G
She said there is no reason
F Dm Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see.'
G Em G7
But I wandered through my playing cards
C C/B Am C/G
And would not let her be
F Dm Dm/C
One of 16 vestal virgins
G Em G7
Who were leaving for the coast
C C/B Am C/G
And although my eyes were open
F Dm
They might have just as well've been closed
Chorus 2:
G C C/B Am C/G
And so it waaaaas,that later,
F Dm Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
G Em G7
that her face, at first just ghostly,
C F C G7
turned a whiter shade of pale

Chorus 3/Outro:
G C C/B Am C/G
And so it waaaaas,that later,

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whiter shade of pale....
