[Verse]
Em                   Am       C F
We skipped the light fandango ■ ■
Am                Dm7              F
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor ■
G                     Em      G
■ I was feeling kinda seasick ■
C         Em           Am      C   
■ But the crowd called out for more
F Am                   Dm     Dm7 Dm
■ The room was humming harder ■   ■ 
G G7                  Em   G
■ As the ceiling flew away ■

■ When we called out for another drink ■
Am                   Dm7 
The waiter brought a tray
G7        C   Em   Am    C
And so it was that later ■
F    Am                  Dm   F
■ As the miller told his tale ■

Em                   Am     C
She said There is no reason ■

■ And the truth is plain to see
G                           Em           
■ But I wandered through my playing cards
C     Em                Am C
■ And would not let her be ■
F        Am             Dm      Dm7 Dm
■ One of sixteen vestal virgins ■   ■

■ Who were leaving for the coast ■


[Chorus]
C G               Am        C   
■ And although my eyes were open
F Am                           Dm7        
■ They might just as well have been closed
G7            C    Em    Am G
And so it was that later ■  ■
F Am                     Dm   F
■ As the miller told his tale ■
G                        Em           G7
■ That her face at first just ghostly ■ 
C               F       C      
Turned a whiter ■ shade of pale

As the miller told his tale ■
