1. [C]We skipped the light fan-[Am]dango
[F]Turned [Am]cartwheels ‘cross the [Dm]floor
[G]I was feeling kind of [Em]seasick
[C]The [Em]crowd called out for [Am]more
[F]And the [Am]room was hummin’ [Dm]harder
[G]As the ceiling flew [Em]away
[C]And when we [Em]called outfor a-[Am]nother drink
[F]But the [Am]waiter brought a [Dm]tray.
Chorus: [G]And so it [C]was [Am]later
[F]As the [Am]miller told his [Dm]tale
[G]That her face at first just [Em]ghostly
Turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of [C]pale [G][C]

[F]And the [Am]truth is plain to [Dm]see”

[F]They might [Am]just as well been [Dm]closed
