                           A Whiter Shade of Pale

                                                              Procol Harum
C C/B Am G  F Em Dm C
 G F Em Dm  C F C/G G7
    C   C/B                   Am    G
      We skipped the light fandango
    F        Em                   Dm    C
      Turned cartwheels cross the floor
    G       F             Em      Dm
      I was feeling kinda seasick

      The crowd called out for more
      The room was humming harder
      As the ceiling flew away

      When we called out for another drink
    F     Em               Dm
      The waiter brought a tray

                  G           C C/B    Am    G
                    And so it was that later
                  F        Em              Dm   C
                    As the miller told his tale
                  G          F                   Em      Dm
                    That her face, at first just ghostly
                             C     F         C/G  G7
                    Turned a whiter shade of pale
                         *Interlude*  (chorus)

      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 have just as well've been closed

                    And so it was that later
                    As the miller told his tale
                    That her face, at first just ghostly
                    Turned a whiter shade of pale
                         *Interlude*  (chorus)

                    And so it was that later...
