We skipped the light fan-[Am]dango [F]and turned cartwheels across the [Dm]floor [G]I was feeling kind of [Em]seasick [G7] [C]but the crowd called out for [Am]more. [Em] [F]The room was humming [Dm]harder [G]as the ceiling flew a-[Em]way . . [G7] [C]When we called out for a-[Am]nother drink [Em] [F]the waiter brought a [Dm]tray [G]And so it [C]was that [Am]later [F]as the miller told his [Dm]tale [G]that her face at first just [Em]ghostly [G7]turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of [C]pale. [G7] [C]She said, 'There is no [Am]reason, [F]and the truth is plain to [Dm]see.' [G7]But I wandered through my [Em]playing cards [G7] [C]and would not let her [Am]be . . [Em] [F]One of sixteen vestal [Dm]virgins [G7]who were leaving for the [Em]coast [G7] [C]and although my eyes were [Am]open [Em] [F]they might just as well have been [Dm]closed [G]And so it [C]was that [Am]later [F]as the miller told his [Dm]tale [G]that her face at first just [Em]ghostly [G7]turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of [C]pale. [G7] [C]She said, 'I'm home on [Am]shore leave,' [F]though in truth we were at [Dm]sea [G7]so I took her by the [Em]looking glass [G7] [C]and forced her to a-[Am]gree. [Em] [F]Saying, 'You must be the [Dm]mermaid [G7]who took Neptuen for a [Em]ride.' [G7] [C]But she smiled at me so [Am]sadly [Em] [F]that my anger straightway [Dm]died. [G]And so it [C]was that [Am]later [F]as the miller told his [Dm]tale [G]that her face at first just [Em]ghostly [G7]turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of [C]pale. [G7] [C]If music be the [Am]food of love [F]then laughter is its [Dm]queen [G7]and likewise if be-[Em]hind is in front [G7] [C]then dirt in truth is [Am]clean. [Em] [F]My mouth by then like [Dm]cardboard [G7]seemed to slip straight through my [Em]head. [G7] [C]So we crash-dived straightway [Am]quickly [Em] [F]and attacked the ocean [Dm]bed. [G]And so it [C]was that [Am]later [F]as the miller told his [Dm]tale [G]that her face at first just [Em]ghostly [G7]turned a [C]whiter [F]shade of [C]pale.
