A Whiter Shade Of Pale

Tom: Dó Maior (C)
Introd.: C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G/B G/F Em7 G/D C F G F/A G/B C

              C/B       Am  C/G    F
We skipped the light Fandango
          F/E               Dm    F/C G
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
        G/F           Em7    G/D     C
I was feeling kind of seasick
                 C/D          Am C/G F
But the crowd called out for more
     F/E              Dm   F/C    G
The room was humming harder
        G/F         Em7 G/D C
As the ceiling flew away
        C/B             Am     F/C   F
When we called out for another drink
     F/E               Dm
The waiter brought a tray
G          C  C/B     Am       C/G    F
And so it was       that later
       F/E            Dm   F/C G
As the Miller told his tale
         G/F                  Em7    G/D
That her face, at first just ghostly
          C     F         C  G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Interlude: C C/B Am Am/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G/B G/F Em7 G/D C F G F/A G/B  C
         C/B          Am   C/G    F
She said there is no reason
       F/E                Dm F/C G
And the truth is plain to see
       G/F                 Em7   G/D
But I wandered through my playing
        C       C/B       Am    C/G F
Cards and   would not let her be
        F/E            Dm    F/C    G
One of sixteen vestal virgins,
        G/F             Em7  G/D C
Who were leaving for the coast
        C/B               Am   C/G    F
And although my eyes were open
         F/E                  Dm
They might just as well've been closed
G          C  C/B      Am    C/G    F
And so it was     that later
              F/E      Dm  F/C G
As the Miller told his tale
         G/F                   Em7    G/D
That her face, at first just ghostly
         C   F           C   G
Turned a whiter   shade of pale
