A Whiter Shade of Pale chords
Procol Harum  *

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

C                       Am   
We skipped the light fandango
F                            Dm   
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G                   Em     G7 
I was feeling kinda seasick
C                            Am  Em
but the crowd called out for more
F                    Dm
The room was humming harder
G                    Em  G7
as the ceiling flew away
C                              Am  Em
When we called out for another drink
F                    Dm
the waiter brought a tray

G7        C Cmaj7      Am C
And so it was     that later
F                      Dm
as the miller told his tale
G                            Em
that her face, at first just ghostly,
G7       C      F        C  G7 C
turned a whiter shade of pale

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

C                      Am
She said, 'There is no reason
F                         Dm
and the truth is plain to see.'
G                         Em          G7
But I wandered through my playing cards
C                     Am  Em
and would not let her be
F                     Dm
one of sixteen vestal virgins
G                        Em   G7
who were leaving for the coast
C                         Am  Em
and although my eyes were open
F                                    Dm
they might have just as well've been closed

G7        C Cmaj7      Am C
And so it was     that later
F                      Dm
as the miller told his tale
G                            Em
that her face, at first just ghostly,
G7       C      F        C  G7 C
turned a whiter shade of pale
 
C Am F Dm G Em  G7 C F G F  G7
