C                         Am
   We skipped the light fandango    <--- verse I
   She said "There is no  reason,   <--- verse II

F                                  Dm
  And turned cartwheels across the floor
  And the truth is plain to        see,"

G                          Em      G7
  I was feeling kind of    seasick
  But I wandered through my playing cards

C                              Am   Em
  But the crowd called out for more
  And would not let her        be
  
F                       Dm
  The room was humming  harder
  One of sixteen vestal virgins

G                          Em   G7
  As the ceiling flew a-   way
  Who were leaving for the coast

C                           Am     Em
  When we called out for a- nother drink
  And although my eyes were o-     pen

F                                 Dm   
  The waiter brought a            tray
They might just as well have been closed


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
