A Whiter Shade of Pale chords
Procol Harum * 1967 (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
