A Whiter Shade of Pale: Procol Harum
[Formated to fit on one page lead sheet - just double column the last part]]
[INTRO] / C Em Am C / F Am Dm F / G G7 Em G7 / C F G G7 /
C Em Am C
We skipped the light fandango
F Am Dm F
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G G7 Em G7
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 G7 Em G7
As the ceiling flew away
C Em Am C
When we called out for another drink
F Am Dm G7
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 G7 Em G7
That her face at first just ghostly
C F C G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Intro Chords]
/ C Em Am C / F Am Dm F / G G7 Em G7 / C F G G7 /
/ C Em Am C
She said there is no reason
F Am Dm F
And the truth is plain to see......
G G7 Em
G7
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 G7 Em G7
Who were leaving for the coast
C Em Am C
And although my eyes were open
F Am Dm
G7
They might just as well been closed
[Refrain] And so it was that later
