Procol Harum - A whiter shade of pale

G              Hm    Em       G
We skipped the light fandango
C      Em                    Am     C
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
D     D7              Hm        D7
I was feeling kind of seasick
G             Hm         Em       G
But the crowd called out for more

/ C Em Am C / F Am Dm F / G G7 Em G7 / C Em Am C /


C            Em      Am        C
The room was humming harder
D              D7   Hm         D7
As the ceiling flew away
G       Hm             Em      G
When we called out for another drink
C          Em        Am        D7
The waiter brought a tray

/ F Am Dm F / G G7 Em G7 / C Em Am C / F Am Dm G7 /


G         Hm       Em          G
And so it was that later
C      Em              Am      C
As the miller told his tale
D        D7                 Hm      D7
That her face at first just ghostly
G        C               G     D7
Turned a whiter shade of pale

/ C Em Am C / F Am Dm F / G G7 Em G7 / C F C G7 /

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be

One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well been closed

And so it was that later ...
