Chords

[Intro] C Em Am C F Am Dm F G Dm Em G C F G Gsus G [Verse 1]
C     Em               Am    C
We skipped the light fandango

F   Am                      Dm F
Turn cartwheels cross the floor

G     Dm              Em     G
I was feeling kind of seasick

C    Em            Am       C
The crowd called out for more

F    Am              Dm   F
The room was humming harder

G       Dm           Em G
As the ceiling flew away

C       Em             Am           C
When we called out for another drink

F   Am                 Dm
The waiter brought a tray
[Chorus]
 G        C Em     Am C
 And so it was a lady

 F      Am            Dm    F
 As the miller told his tale,

 G    Dm                     Em    G
 That her face at first just ghostly

        C        F       C     Gsus G
 Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Break] C Em Am C F Am Dm F G Dm Em G C F G Gsus G [Verse 2]
C Em               Am    C
He said there is no reason

F        Am                Dm F
And the truth is plain to see

G      Dm                   Em         G
That I wandered through my playin' cards

C      Em         Am C
Would not let her be

F      Am            Dm      F
One of sixteen vestal virgins

G         Dm               Em G
Who were leaving for the coast

C   Em          Am           G
And although my eyes were open

F         Am               Dm
They might just as well been closed.
[Chours 3]
G        C Em     Am C
And so it was a lady

 F      Am            Dm    F
As the miller told his tale,

 G    Dm                     Em    G
That her face at first just ghostly

  C        F       C     Gsus G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
