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
