Whiter Shade Of Pale Chords & Tabs
A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Procol Harum
I've alredy sent this one, but it came out not well,
without intro and some measures. So, here I am again!
It's quite simple, but really beatifull song.
There are two stretches in the intro, but they are not impossible.
Just try. At least you can play only higher notes.
I wrote also chord's name over tabline, but I'm not really sure
they are all right (like FaddB, for example)
For any comment -

Repeat chorus

Then play this for outro
