Procol Harum – A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Guitar)

C     C/B              Am     Am/G
We skipped the light fandango

F    F/E                     Dm    Dm/C
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

G       G/F          Em      Em/D
I was feeling kinda seasick

C        C/B           Am         Am/G
but the crowd called out for more

F       F/E          Dm     Dm/C
The room was humming harder

G       G/F          Em    Em/D
as the ceiling flew away

C          C/B            Am     Am/G
When we called out for another drink

F       F/E          Dm
the waiter brought a tray

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later,____

F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
as the miller told his tale

G   G/F                  Em           Em/D
that her face, at first just ghostly,

           C    F        C    G6add11 G6
turned a whiter shade of pale

C     C/B            Am     Am/G
She said there is no reason

F        F/E              Dm    Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see

G       G/F                Em       Em/D
But I wandered through my playing cards

C       C/B       Am       Am/G
Would not let her be

F       F/E           Dm      Dm/C
One of sixteen vestal virgins

G        G/F             Em    Em/D
Who were leaving for the coast

C           C/B           Am   Am/G
And although my eyes were o____pen

F       F/E                  Dm
They might just as well been closed

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later,____

F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
as the miller told his tale

G   G/F                  Em           Em/D
that her face, at first just ghostly,

           C    F        C    G6add11 G6
turned a whiter shade of pale

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later,____

F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
