Intro: 1v
v.1
CWe skipped the light fanAmdango, turned Fcartwheels cross the Dmfloor
GI was feeling kinda Emseasick, Cthe crowd called out for Ammore
FThe room was hummin' Dmharder, Gas the ceiling flew Emaway
CWhen we called out for aAmnother drink, Fa waiter brought a Gtray

Chorus:
And so it Cwas Amlater, Fas the mirror told its Dmtale
GThat her face at first just Emghostly
Turned a Cwhiter Fshade of CpaleG

v.2
She said there is no reason, and the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playin' cards, would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins who were leavin' for the coast
And although my eyes were open, they might just as well be closed
