Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][F][Dm][F][G][C][F][G]
[F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]We skipped the light [Em]fan d[Am]ango[C][F]
Turned cartwheels 'cross [Dm]the floor[F][G]
I was feeling kind [Em]of sea-sick
[G]And [C]And the crowd
called out [Am]for m[C]ore[F]
And the room was humming [Dm]harder[F][G]
As the ceiling flew [Em]away[G][C]
When we called out for [Am]an other dr[G]ink[F]
But [Dm]the waiter [F]brought
[Dm]a tr[F]ay[Dm]
[F]And so it [C]was [Em]later[Am]
[C]As [F]the miller told his tale[Dm][F][G]
That her face at first just [Em]ghostly[G]
Turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of pal[C]e

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am]
[G][C][F][Dm][F][G][Dm][G][F][C][F][G][F][G][C]

[Verse 2]
You [G]said [Em]there is no [C]reason[Am][G][C][F]
And the truth is plain [Dm]to see[F][G]
But I wandered through my [Em]playing cards
[G]And[C] would not le[G]t[Em]
[C]her be[Am][G][C][F]
And one of sixteen vestal [Dm]virgins[F][G]
Who were leaving for the [Em]coast[G][C]
And although my eye[Am]s
were [G]open[F]
They might just as well be [Dm]closed
And [G]so it [F]was [C]lat[Am]er[C][F]
As the miller told his [Dm]tale[F][G]
That her face at first just [Em]ghostly[G]
Turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of pal[C]e[G]
[C]

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][C][F][Dm][F][Dm][G][C][F]

[Verse 3]
And [G]so [F]it [G]was[C] lat[Am]er[C][F]
As the miller told his [Dm]tale[F][G]
That her face at first just [Em]ghostly[G]
Turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of pal[C]e
[G]A w[C]hiter s[F]hade of pale[C][G]
Turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of pal[C]e[G]
A [C]whiter [F]shade of pale
