(Intro):              C   Em             Am,   C          F            Am       Dm      F,
(1st two lines):     G         G7    Em,    G7     C    Em        Am      C.        Em.....
 
(Verse 1):
C   Em                  Am     C        F           Am        Dm      F
We skipped the light fandango,   turned cartwheels 'cross the floor, 
G             G7      Em       G7  C       Em           Am      C      Em
I was feeling kind of seasick,     but the crowd called out for more. 
    F        Am      Dm      F  G7     G       G7    G     G7
The room was humming harder,    as the ceiling flew away, 
Em      G               Em   Am    Em     C  G   Dm     C         Am    G7
When we called out, for an – other drink,    the waiter brought a tray. 
 
(Chorus):
Em     G7 Am   C  CM       C      G         Dm     C        Am7   C    G7
And so it wa - as    that  later,    as the miller told his tale, 
         C       G7             Am   G7           C      Am  C         Em   C
That her face at first just ghostly,     turned a whiter     shade of  pa - ale.

(Verse 2):
Em                Dm    C    G7         C        Am       C   Am   G7
She said there is no reason,    and the truth is plain to see…ee 
Am    G7                Am     Am7  G      Am  Em        Dm  C       Em   Dm  C
But I wandered  through my playing  cards,     and would not let her be; 
       Dm      Am     C   Dm   F  G7  Am        G7              Dm G7   Am  G7
One of sixteen vestal vir-gins,       who were  leaving for the co-ast, 
Em    Am        Em        G Am   C             Dm         C            Am       G7
And although my eyes were o-pen,    they might just as we-ll have been closed. 
 
(Chorus):
Em     G7 Am C  CM       C      G         Dm     C        Am7   C    G7
And so it wa-as,   that  later,    as the miller told his tale, 
         C             G7        Am  G7  Am       C       Am  C         Em   C
That her face at first just ghostly,     turned a whiter      shade of  pa - ale.
 
(Verse 3):
Em             Dm      C             G7           C             Am C  Am      G7
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,     though in truth we were at se-ea,
Am   G7          Am      Am7  G      Am  Em         Dm   C    Em   Dm  C
So I took her by the looking  glass,     and forced her  to  agree.
         Dm        Am     C  Dm    F  G7  Am       G7            Dm   G7     Am  G7
Saying, 'You  must be the mermaid,        who took Neptune for a ri - de,
Em      Am        Em    G   Am   C          Dm                C     Am   G7
But she smiled at me so sad-ly,     that my anger straightway died.
 
(Chorus):
Em     G7 Am    C  CM       C       G         Dm     C        Am7   C    G7
And so it wa - as      that later,     as the miller told his tale, 
          C      G7              Am  G7           C      Am   C        Em   C
That her face at first just ghostly,     turned a whiter      shade of pa - ale. 
 
(Verse 4):
Em              Dm      C      G7     C           Am   C    Am    G7
If music be the food of love,     and laughter is its  que..en,
Am      G7        Am      Am7  G     Am  Em   Dm      C        Em     Dm  C
And likewise if behind is in   front,    then dirt in truth is clean.
   Dm       Am        C   Dm     F  G7  Am        G7            Dm         G7     Am  G7
My mouth by then like cardboard,        seemed to slip straight through my head,
Em    Am          Em      G    Am       C        Dm          C     Am      G7
So we crash-dived straightway quickly,      and attacked the ocean bed.  
 
(Chorus):
Em     G7 Am    C   CM7        C       G         Dm     C        Am7   C    G7
And so it wa -  as        that later,     as the miller told his tale, 
         C       G7              Am  G7          C       Am   C         Em   C
That her face at first just ghostly,    turned a whiter       shade of  pa - ale.

Em     G7 Am    C   CM7       C       G         Dm     C        Am7   C    G7
And so it wa -  as      that  later,     as the miller told his tale, 
         C       G7              Am  G7          C       Am   C         Em   C
That her face at first just ghostly,    turned a whiter       shade of  pa - ale.
