G Em C Am D Bm D G C D
[Strophe]
   G                    Em   C 
We skipped the light fandango 
                             Am    D7 
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor 
      D             Bm     D7  G 
I was feeling kinda seasick 
                             Em   C 
but the crowd called out for more 
                     Am     D7 
The room was humming harder 
       D            Bm   D7  G 
as the ceiling flew away 
                               Em   C 
When we called out for another drink 
                     Am 
the waiter brought a tray
[Refrain]
D7  D  D7 G    D    Em    C 
And so it was  that later 
                       Am   D7 
as the miller told his tale 
         D        D7         Bm     D 
that her face, at first just ghostly,
         G     C          G   D7 
turned a whiter  shade of pale
[Strophe]
    G                 Em    C 
She said, There is no reason 
                          Am   D7 
and the truth is plain to see. 
      D                   Bm          D7  G 
But I wandered through my playing cards 
                      Em   C 
and would not let her be 
                      Am      D7 
one of sixteen vestal virgins 
         D               Bm   D7  G 
who were leaving for the coast 
                          Em   C 
and although my eyes were open 
                                  Am 
they might have just as well been closed
[Refrain]
D7  D  D7 G    D    Em    C 
And so it was  that later 
                       Am   D7 
as the miller told his tale 
         D        D7         Bm     D 
that her face, at first just ghostly, 
         G     C          G   D7 
turned a whiter  shade of pale
[Instrumentale]
G Em C Am D Bm D G C D
[Refrain]
D7  D  D7 G    D    Em    C 
And so it was  that later 
                       Am   D7 
as the miller told his tale 
         D        D7         Bm     D 
that her face, at first just ghostly, 
         G     C          G   D7 
turned a whiter  shade of pale
