Riot – A Whiter Shade Of Pale (Guitar)

A  A/G#                 F#m A/E D
We skipped the light fandango

       D/C#                  D/B D/A  E
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor

      E/D           E/C#   E/B  A
I was feeling kinda seasick

        A/G#                 F#m A7/E D
But the crowd called out for more

    D/C#             D/B  D/A E
The room was humming harder

       E/D           E/C# E/B A
As the ceiling flew away

        A/G#           F#m        A7/E D
When we called out for another drink

    D/C#             D/B
The waiter brought a tray

E         A E/G#   F#m A/E D
And so it was that later

       D/C#            D/B  D/A E
As the miller told his tale

         E/D                 E/C#   E/B
That her face, at first just ghostly

         A     D         E7
Turned a whiter shade of pale

A   E/G#             F#m  A7/E D
She said there is no reason

        D/C#              D/B D/A  E
And the truth is plain to see.

      E/D           E/C#        E/B  A
But I wandered while my playing cards

    E/G#              F#m A7/E D
and would not let her be

       D/C#           D/B  D/A E
one of sixteen vestal virgins

         E/D             E/C# E/B A
who were leaving for the coast

      E/G#                F#m  A7/E D
and although my eyes were open

           D/C#              D/B
they might just as well been closed

E         A E/G#   F#m A/E D
And so it was that later

       D/C#            D/B  D/A E
As the miller told his tale

         E/D                 E/C#   E/B
That her face, at first just ghostly

         A     D         E   G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
