[G][G7][Em][G]
[C][Dm7][G][G7]
[C] We skipped the
light fan-[Em]-dango [Am][C]
[F] And turned cartwheels
across the [Am] floor [Dm][Dm7]
[G] I was [G7] feeling kind of [Em] seasick
[G]
[C] But the [Em] crowd called out for [Am]
more [C]
[F] The room was [Am] humming [Dm] harder [Dm7]
[G] As the [G7] ceiling flew [Em] away
[G]
[C] When [Em] we called out for [Am]
another [C] drink,
[F] The [Am] waiter brought a [Dm7]
tray [G7]
And so it [C] was [Em] that [Am] later [C]
[F] As the [Am] miller told his [Dm] tale
[Dm7]
[G] That her [G7] face at first just [Em]
ghostly [G]
Turned a [C] whiter
[F] shade of [C]
pale [G7]
[C] She said "There
is no [Em] reason, [Am][C]
[F] And the truth is
plain to [Am] see," [Dm][Dm7]
[G] But I [G7] wandered through my [Em]
playing cards, [G]
[C] And [Em] would not let her [Am]
be [C]
[F] One of sixteen
[Am] vestal [Dm]
virgins, [Dm7]
[G] Who were [G7] leaving for the [Em] coast
[G]
[C] And al-[Em]-though my eyes were [Am]
open, [C]
[F] They might [Am] just as well have been [Dm7]
closed [G7]
And so it [C] was [Em] that [Am] later [C]
[F] As the [Am] miller told his [Dm] tale
[Dm7]
[G] That her [G7] face at first just [Em]
ghostly [G]
Turned a [C] whiter
[F] shade of [C]
pale [G7]
