Tom : C
[Intro] C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em Em/D C F G F G
C C/B Am Am/G
We skipped the light fandango
F F/E Dm Dm/C
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G G/F Em Em/D
I was feeling kinda seasick
C C/B Am Am/G
But the crowd called out for more
F F/E Dm Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G G/F Em Em/D
As the ceiling flew away
C C/B Am Am/G
When we called out for another drink
F F/E Dm
The waiter brought a tray
[Refrão]
G7 C C/B Am Am/G
And so it was,___ that later,____
F F/E Dm Dm/C
As the miller told his tale
G G/F Em Em/D
That her face, at first just ghostly,
C F C G6 G6
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Próxima Parte]
( C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em Em/D C F G F G )
C C/B Am Am/G
She said there is no reason
F F/E Dm Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see
G G/F Em Em/D
But i wandered through my playing cards
C C/B Am Am/G
Would not let her be
F F/E Dm Dm/C
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G G/F Em Em/D
Who were leaving for the coast
C C/B Am Am/G
And although my eyes were o____pen
F F/E Dm
They might just as well been closed
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
( C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em Em/D C F G )
G7 C C/B Am Am/G
And so it was,___ that later
F F/E Dm Dm/C
As the miller told his tale
