Live at Gala du Midem, Palais des Festivals, Cannes, France January 27 1968 https://youtu.be/F6AaRtQFn5Y "The Midnight Special": https://youtu.be/xM_N2O-gzP4 50th Anniversary Stereo Mix: https://youtu.be/CJxpKlTID2Q Backing Track: https://youtu.be/P5lINiWsppg Define: C/G 3x201x G/B x20003 [Intro] C Em Am C/G Fmaj7 Am Dm Fmaj7 G G/B Em G/D C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G [Verse 1]
C   Em                   Am    C/G
 We skipped the light fandango

Fmaj7   Am                    Dm    Fmaj7
 Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

G      G/B             Em      G/D
 I was feeling kind of seasick

C    Em             Am         C/G
 The crowd called out for more

Fmaj7 Am               Dm     Fmaj7
 The  room was humming harder

G       G/B           Em     G/D
 As the ceiling flew away

C        Em              Am     C/G
 When we called out for another drink

Fmaj7 Am               Dm
 The  waiter brought a tray
[Chorus]
G         C   Em      Am    C/G
And so it was... that later

Fmaj7   Am              Dm    Fmaj7
 As the miller told his tale

G         G/B                Em      G/D
 That her face at first just ghostly

         C     Fmaj7     C    G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Instrumental] C Em Am C/G Fmaj7 Am Dm Fmaj7 G G/B Em G/D C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G [Verse 2]
C    Em               Am    C/G
 She said there is no reason

Fmaj7    Am                Dm    Fmaj7
 And the truth is plain to see

G      G/B                 Em            G/D
 But I wandered through my playing cards

C          Em          Am    C/G
 And would not let her be

Fmaj7   Am             Dm     Fmaj7
 One of sixteen vestal virgins

G         G/B             Em    G/D
 Who were leaving for the coast

C      Em        Am            C/G
 And although my eyes were open

Fmaj7       Am                     Dm
 They might just as well have been closed
[Chorus]
G         C   Em      Am    C/G
And so it was... that later

Fmaj7   Am              Dm    Fmaj7
 As the miller told his tale

G         G/B                Em      G/D
 That her face at first just ghostly

         C     Fmaj7     C    G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Outro] C Em Am C/G Fmaj7 Am Dm Fmaj7 G G/B Em G/D
C  Fmaj7  G   Fmaj7 G     C   Em      Am    C/G
              And   so it was... that later...

Fmaj7   Am              Dm    Fmaj7
 As the miller told his tale

G         G/B                Em      G/D
 That her face at first just ghostly

         C     Fmaj7     C    G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
C Em Am C/G Fmaj7 Am Dm Fmaj7 G G/B Em G/D C Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G Fmaj7 G C
