A whiter shade of pale - Procol Harum

[G] [G/F#] [Em] [D] [C] [G] [Am] [Am/G] [D] [D/C] [D/B] [D/A] [G] [C] [D] [C D]

[G] [G/F#] We skipped the light [Em] fandango [D]
[C] turned [G] cartwheels 'cross the [Am] floor [Am/G]
[D] I was [D/C] feeling kinda [D/B] seasick [D/A]
[G] but the [G/F#] crowd called o[Em]ut for more [D]
[C] The [G] room was humming [Am] harder [Am/G]
[D] as the [D/C] ceiling flew a[D/B]way [D/A]
[G] When we [G/F#] called out for an[Em]other [D] drink
[C] the [G] waiter brought a [Am] tray [D]

And so it [G] wa[G/F#] s that l[Em]at[D]er
[C] as the [G] miller told his [Am] tale [Am/G]
[D] that her [D/C] face, at first just [D/B] ghostly [D/A]
turned a w[G]hiter [C] shade of [G] pale [D]

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 [G] wa[G/F#] s that l[Em]at[D]er
[C] as the [G] miller told his [Am] tale [Am/G]
[D] that her [D/C] face, at first just [D/B] ghostly [D/A]
turned a w[G]hiter [C] shade of [G] pale [D]
