A Whiter Shade of Pale

Intro:
C | Am | F | Dm
G | Em G7 | C F | G F:G7

Verse 1:
C                          Am
  We skipped the light fandango,
F                                    Dm
  And turned cartwheels 'cross the floor.
G                        Em     G7
  I was feeling kind of 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.

Chorus:
Em7add11   C  Cmaj7       Am   C
And so it was       that later,
F                         Dm
  As the miller told his tale,
G                                Em    G7
  That her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F           C    G7
Turned a whiter   shade of pale.

Verse 2:
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've just as well been closed.

[Chorus]
