C Am

We skipped the light fandango (1st verse)

F Dm

And turned cartwheels across the floor

G Em G7

I was feeling kind of seasick

C Am Em

But the crowd called out for more

F Dm

The room was humming harder

G Em G7

As the ceiling flew a- way

C Am Em

When we called out for a- nother drink

F Dm

The waiter brought a tray

Chorus

G13 C6 Cmaj7 Am C

And so it was that later

F Dm

As the miller told his tale

G Em

That her face at first just ghostly

G7 C F C G7 C (second time)

Turned a whiter shade of pale

(2nd verse)

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 o-pen

They might just as well have been closed

Chorus 2x

You can use a Gsus for the G13
