A Whiter Shade Of Pale Cifras

[Intro]
 
C Em Am C
F Am Dm F
G Dm Em G
C F G Gsus G
 
[Verse 1]
C     Em               Am    C
We skipped the light fandango
F   Am                      Dm F
Turn cartwheels cross the floor
G     Dm              Em     G
I was feeling kind of seasick
C    Em            Am       C
The crowd called out for more
F    Am              Dm   F
The room was humming harder
G       Dm           Em G
As the ceiling flew away
C       Em             Am           C
When we called out for another drink
F   Am                 Dm
The waiter brought a tray
 
[Chorus]
 G        C Em     Am C
 And so it was a lady
 F      Am            Dm    F
 As the miller told his tale,
 G    Dm                     Em    G
 That her face at first just ghostly
        C        F       C     Gsus G
 Turned a whiter shade of pale
 
 
[Break]

[Verse 2]
C Em               Am    C
He said there is no reason
F        Am                Dm F
And the truth is plain to see
G      Dm                   Em         G
That I wandered through my playin' cards
C      Em         Am C
Would not let her be
F      Am            Dm      F
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G         Dm               Em G
Who were leaving for the coast
C   Em          Am           G
And although my eyes were open
F         Am               Dm
They might just as well been closed.
 
[Chours 3]
G        C Em     Am C
And so it was a lady
 F      Am            Dm    F
As the miller told his tale,
 G    Dm                     Em    G
That her face at first just ghostly
  C        F       C     Gsus G
Turned a whiter shade of pale
 
(Repeat Chorus while fading)
