Whiter Shade Of Pale


(C)We (C/B)skipped the light fan (Amin)dango(Amin/G), (F)turned (F*)cartwheels cross the (Dmin)floor
(G)I was (G/F#)feelin' kinda (Emin)seasick (G7), (C)but the (C/B)crowd called out for (Amin)more
(F)The (F*)room was humming (Dmin)harder (G), (Emin)as the ceiling flew a (G7)way
(C)When we (C/B)called out for a (Amin)nother drink (Amin/G), (F)the waiter brought a (Dmin)tray

And so it (C)wa-a-(C/B)as that (Amin)later (Amin/G), (F)as the (F*)miller told his (Dmin)tale
(G)That her (G/F#)face at first just (Emin)ghostly (G7), (C)turned a whiter (F)shade of (C)pale (G7)

She said there is no reason, and the truth is plain to see
As I wandered thru 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 opened, they might just as well be closed

And so it wa-a-as that later, as the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale.
