C
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
Em
drink
F
The waiter brought a
Dm
tray
Chorus
G13
And so it
C6
was
Cmaj7
that
Am
later
C
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 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 have been closed
Chorus
Speed
