  We skipped the light fandango
F    Am/E            Dm              Dm/C  
  Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G       G/F           Em      G7/D
  I was feeling kinda seasick

The crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away

  C      Em/B               Am     C/G
    When we called out for another drink
  F     Am/E             Dm     e!   \   /  
    The waiter brought a tray - and  so  it 

Was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly

             C      F          C    G7 
    Turned a whiter   shade of pale

(intro)

She said "there is no reason"
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards

Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast

  And although my eyes were open
  They might have just as well've been closed - and  so  it

Was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly

    Turned a whiter shade of pale
                                                      
(intro)  g!   \   /    w/ orgue variations
         And  so  it  

Was that later
