We skipped the light fandango <--- verse I
She said "There is no reason, <--- verse II
And turned cartwheels across the floor
And the truth is plain to see,"
I was feeling kind of seasick
But I wandered through my playing cards
But the crowd called out for more
And would not let her be
The room was humming harder
One of sixteen vestal virgins
As the ceiling flew a- way
Who were leaving for the coast
When we called out for a- nother drink
And although my eyes were o- pen
The waiter brought a tray
They might just as well have been closed
Chorus
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
(second time)
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Some corrections to the chords. I'm writing this from my head so these may be
a bit off, too, but certainly closer. My chart says it's in C but I think I
never did actually check it, so I'll stay in G.
