C Am
We skipped the light fandango <--- verse I
She said "There is no reason, <--- verse II
F Dm
And turned cartwheels across the floor
And the truth is plain to see,"
G Em G7
I was feeling kind of seasick
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Am Em
But the crowd called out for more
And would not let her be
F Dm
The room was humming harder
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G Em G7
As the ceiling flew a- way
Who were leaving for the coast
C Am Em
When we called out for a- nother drink
And although my eyes were o- pen
F Dm
The waiter brought a tray
They might just as well have been closed
Chorus
G13 C6 Cmaj7 Am C
And so it was that later
F Dm
As the miller told his tale
G Em
That her face at first just ghostly
G7 C F C G7 C (second time)
Turned a whiter shade of pale

Some corrections to the chords. I'm writing this from my head so these may be
a bit off, too, but certainly closer. My chart says it's in C but I think I
never did actually check it, so I'll stay in G.
> G F# Em D
G D/F# Em Em7/D
> We skipped the last fandango
> C Bm Am G
C G/B Am Am7/G
> Turned cart-wheels `cross the floor
> D C Bm Am
D D7/C Bm7 D7/A
> I was feeling kind of sea-sick
and so on
> D G F# Em D
D13 G D/F# Em Em7/D
> CHORUS: And so we watched, and later
as in the verse except for the ending which was OK:
> G C G D
> Turn a whiter shade of pale
