Simple Tin Whistle Tabs

We skipped the light fandango-----

turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

I was feeling kinda seasick

the crowd called out for more

The room was humming harder

as the ceiling flew a-way-

When we called out for another drink-

the waiter brought a tray

Chorus

And so it was-- that la-- ter---

as the miller told his tale

that her face, at first just ghostly,

turned a whit-er---- shade of pale--

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 o---pen---

they might have just as well been closed
(repeat chorus)

She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'

though in truth we were at sea-

so I took her by the looking glass

and forced her- to agree

saying, 'You must be the mermaid

who took Neptune for a ride.'

But she smiled at me so sad-ly----

that my anger straightway died

Chorus..

If music be the food of love

then laughter is its queen--

and likewise if behind is in front

then dirt in truth is clean

My mouth by then like cardboard

seemed to slip straight through my head

So we crash-dived straightway quick-ly----

and attacked the ocean bed-

Chorus
