intro : C Em/B Am C/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em [ ch ] G7/D [ /Ch ] C F G
verse 1 :
C Em/B Am C/G
we skipped the light fandango
F F/E Dm Dm/C
turned cartwheels ’cross the floor
G G/F Em [ ch ] G7/D [ /Ch ]
i was feeling kinda seasick
C Em/B Am C/G
the crowd called out for more
F F/E Dm Dm/C
the room was humming harder
G G/F Em [ ch ] G7/D [ /Ch ]
as the ceiling flew away
C Em/B Am C/G
when we called out for another drink
F F/E Dm
the waiter brought a tray
chorus :
G C Em/B Am C/G
and so it wa___as la___ter
F F/E Dm Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
G G/F Em [ ch ] G7/D [ /Ch ]
that her face , at first just ghostly ,
C F C G7
turned a whiter shade of pale
bridge : ( same as intro )
verse 2 :
she said , ’there is no reason
and the truth is plain to see . ’
but i wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well’ve been closed
chorus :
and so it wa___as la___ter
as the miller told his tale
that her face , at first just ghostly ,
turned a whiter shade of pale
bridge : ( same as the intro )
chorus :
and so it wa___as la___ter
as the miller told his . . . ( fade )
