A Whiter Shade of Pale: Procol Harum

[Intro]
   
   
  
  

[Verse 1]
           
We skipped the

           
 light fandang

o
           
Turned cartwhe

              
els 'cross the

       
 floor
             
I was feeling 

          
kind of seasic

k
           
But the crowd 

              
called out for

        
 more
           
The room was h

                 
umming harder
             
As the ceiling

        
 flew away
             
When we called

            
 out for anoth

            
er drink
           
The waiter bro

                
ught a tray

[Refrain]
             
And so it was 

       
that later
           
As the miller 

                    
told his tale
           
That her face 

        
at first just 

ghostly
             
Turned a white

            
r shade of pal

[Verse 2]
           
She said there

                  
 is no reason
           
And the truth 

              
is plain to se

           
e......
           
But I wandered

            
 through my pl

aying cards
           
And would not 

           
let her be
           
One of sixteen

              
 vestal virgin

        
s
            
Who were leavi

        
ng for the coa

st
           
And although m

             
y eyes were op

     
en
           
They might jus

              
t as well been

      
 closed

[Refrain]
             
And so it was 

       
that later
           
As the miller 

                
told his tale
           
That her face 

        
at first just 

ghostly
             
Turned a white
