Procol Harum - Whiter Shade Of Pale 1967 [Intro] C Em Am C F Am Dm F G G7 Em7 G7 C F C G [Verse 1]
C  Em                    Am   C
We skipped the light fandango

F      Am                    Dm   F
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

G     G7            Em7     G7
I was feeling kinda seasick

C       Em                   Am  C
But the crowd called out for more

F   Am               Dm    F
The room was humming harder

G      G7           Em7  G7
As the ceiling flew away

C    Em                 Am     C
When we called out for another drink

F   Am               Dm  G
The waiter brought a tray
[Chorus]
          C  Em    Am   C
And so it was that later

F      Am              Dm   F
As the miller told his tale

G        G7                  Em7    G7
That her face, at first just ghostly

         C      F        C    G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Instrumental] C Em Am C F Am Dm F G G7 Em7 G7 C F C G [Verse 2]
C   Em                Am    C
She said, there is no reason

F       Am                Dm   F
And the truth is plain to see'

G     G7                  Em7          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              Em7   G7
Who were leaving for the coast

C      Em                 Am   C
And although my eyes were open

F               Am                   Dm     G
They might have just as well've been closed
[Chorus]
          C  Em    Am   C
And so it was that later

F      Am              Dm   F
As the miller told his tale

G        G7                  Em7    G7
That her face, at first just ghostly

         C      F        C    G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
[Instrumental] C Em Am C F Am Dm F G G7 Em7 G7 C F C G7 [Outro]
          C  Em    Am   C
And so it was that later

F      Am              Dm   F
As the miller told his tale

G        G7                  Em7    G7
That her face, at first just ghostly

         C      F        C    G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
