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 Cm
We skipped the light fandango
F Am Fm
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G G7 EG7
I was feeling kind of seasick
C Em Cm
But the crowd called out for more
F Am Fm
The room was humming harder
G G7 G7
As the ceiling flew away
C Em Am C
When we called out for another drink
F Am G7
The waiter brought a tray
Refrain
/ C Em A/
And so it was that later
F Am Fm
As the miller told his tale
G G7 EG7
That her face at first just ghostly
C F 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 Cm
She said there is no reason
F Am Dm F
And the truth is plain to see......
GGEm
G7
But I wandered through my playing
cards
C Em Cm
And would not let her be
/ F Am Fm
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G G7 G7
Who were leaving for the coast
C Em Cm
And although my eyes were open
FADm
G7
They might just as well been closed
(Refrain) And so it was that later
