(C)We (Em)skipped a light fan(Am)dango, (C)(F) and turned (Am)cartwheels
cross the (Dm)floor, (F)(G) I was (G7)feeling kind of (Em)seasick,(G)
(C)but the crowd called out for (Am)more.(C)(F)
The (Am)room was humming (Dm)harder, (F)(G) as the (G7)ceiling flew (Em)away,(G)
(C)when we (Em)called out for (Am)another (C)drink,(F)
the (Am)waiter brought a (Dm)tray.

(G7)And so it (C)was (Em) that (Am)later,(C)(F) as the (Am)miller told his (Dm)tale,(F)
(G)that her (G7)face at first just (Em)ghostly(G)
turned a (C)whiter (F) shade of (C)pale.(G)

(C)She (Em)said, there is no (Am)reason, (C)(F) and the (Am)truth is plain to (Dm)see,
(F)(G)but I (G7)wandered through my (Em)playing cards,(G)
(C)and (Em)would not let her (Am)be, (C)(F) one of (Am)sixteen vestal (Dm)virgins,
(F)(G)who were (G7)leaving for the (Em)coast.(G)
(C)And (Em)although my eyes were (Am)open,(C)(F)
they might (Am)just have well been (Dm)closed.

(G7)And so it (C)was (Em) that (Am)later,(C)(F) as the (Am)miller told his (Dm)tale,(F)
(G)that her (G7)face at first just (Em)ghostly(G)
turned a (C)whiter (F) shade of (C)pale.(G)
