A WHITER SHADE OF PALE
DO

We skipped the light fandango

And turned cartwheels across the floor

I was feeling kind of seasick
DO

But the crowd called out for more
FA

The room was humming harder
SOL
mi Sol7
As the ceiling flew away
DO la

When we called out for another drink
FA
re
The waiter brought a tray
DO

And so it was that later
FA
re
As the miller told his tale
SOL
mi
That her face at first just ghostly
Sol7 DO FA DO Sol7
DO
Turned a whiter shade of pale
DO

She said "There is no reason,
FA
re
And the truth is plain to see,"
SOL
mi Sol7
But I wandered through my playing cards
DO la
mi
And would not let her be
FA
re
One of sixteen vestal virgins
SOL
mi
Sol7
Who were leaving for the coast
DO la
mi
And although my eyes were open
FA
re
They might just as well have been closed
DO la

And so it was that later

As the miller told his tale

That her face at first just ghostly
