A Whiter Shade of Pale: Procol Harum
[Intro] - - - C Em Am C - - F Am Dm F
- - - G Em G - - - C F G
[Verse 1]
C Em Am C
We skipped the light fandango
F Am Dm F
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G Em G
I was feeling kind of seasick
C Em Am C
But the crowd called out for more
F Am Dm F
The room was humming harder
G Em G
As the ceiling flew away
C Em Am C
When we called out for another drink
F Am Dm F G
The waiter brought a tray
[Refrain]
C Em Am C
And so it was that later
F Am Dm F
As the miller told his tale
G Em G
That her face at first just ghostly
C F C G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Intro Chords] - - - C Em Am C

[Verse 2]
C Em Am C
She said there is no reason
F Am Dm F
And the truth is plain to see......
G Em G
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Em Am C
And would not let her be
F Am Dm F
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G Em G
Who were leaving for the coast
C Em Am C
And although my eyes were open
F Am Dm G
They might just as well been closed
[Refrain]
C Em Am C
And so it was that later
F Am Dm F
As the miller told his tale
G Em G
That her face at first just ghostly
C F C G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
