1. [C] We skipped the light fan-[Am] dango
[F] Turned [Am] cartwheels 'cross the [Dm] floor
[G] I was feeling kind of [Em] seasick
[C] The [Em] crowd called out for [Am] more
[F] And the [Am] room was hummin' [Dm] harder
[G] As the ceiling flew [Em] away
[C] And when we [Em] called outfor a-[Am] nother drink
[F] But the [Am] waiter brought a [Dm] tray.
Chorus: [G] And so it [C] was [Am] later
[F] As the [Am] miller told his [Dm] tale
