A Whiter Shade of Pale

[Intro] C  C/B  Am  Am/G  F  F/E  Dm  Dm/C  G  G/F  Em  Em/D  C  F  G  F  G

C     C/B              Am     Am/G
We skipped the light fandango
F    F/E                     Dm    Dm/C
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G       G/F          Em      Em/D
I was feeling kinda seasick
C        C/B           Am         Am/G
But the crowd called out for more
F       F/E          Dm     Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G       G/F          Em    Em/D
As the ceiling flew away
C          C/B            Am     Am/G
When we called out for another drink
F       F/E          Dm
The waiter brought a tray

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
As the miller told his tale
G   G/F                  Em           Em/D
That her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G6  G6
Turned a whiter shade of pale

( C  C/B  Am  Am/G  F  F/E  Dm  Dm/C  G  G/F  Em  Em/D  C  F  G  F  G )

C     C/B            Am     Am/G
She said there is no reason
F        F/E              Dm    Dm/C
And the truth is plain to see
G       G/F                Em       Em/D
But i wandered through my playing cards
C       C/B       Am       Am/G
Would not let her be
F       F/E           Dm      Dm/C
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G        G/F             Em    Em/D
Who were leaving for the coast
C           C/B           Am   Am/G
And although my eyes were o____pen
F       F/E                  Dm
They might just as well been closed

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later
F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
As the miller told his tale
G   G/F                  Em           Em/D
That her face, at first just ghostly
           C    F        C    G6  G6
Turned a whiter shade of pale

( C  C/B  Am  Am/G  F  F/E  Dm  Dm/C  G  G/F  Em  Em/D  C  F  G )

G7          C  C/B        Am    Am/G
And so it was,___ that later
F       F/E             Dm  Dm/C
