Song : ( already improved version )

-6     -6           6   -6      6   6 -5

We skipped the light Fan-dan-go


6 6          -5 -5             -4 -5 -4

Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

5 5      5 -4       5   -4   5 4
I was feeling kind of seasick


4        -6       6       6   -5   -6
The crowd called out for more

  6       6     -5     -5 -4      - 5 6
The room was humming harder

5     5   5 -4       5   -4 4
As the ceiling flew away

-6        -6     7      7..  7  -6 -8 -6    -6
When we called out for an-o-ther drink

6       6 -5      -5      -4  -5-4
The waiter brought a  tray


-6    -6  7  -8     7  -66-6
And so it was that la--ter

-5 -5      6-5   -5   -4  -5-4
As the Miller told his ta-le

5        5      5    -4 5    -4     5 4
That her face, at first just ghostly

4          -5 –5 -5          4  -5   -6 6 -5
Turned a whi-ter shade of   pa--le……

 



 organ  ( see intro )



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 just as well've been closed

And so it was that later
As the Miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

And so it was....

 

 

Enjoy !
