A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Keith Reid Gary Brooker Matthew Fisher
d'après Jean-Sébastien Bach (BWV 140) et (BWV 1068)
Song : G
Intro :
C Cmaj7 Am Am7 F
Am Dm Dm7 G G7
Em G7 C F G7 F
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
We skipped the light fandango
F Am Dm Dm7
and turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G G7 Em G7
I was feeling kind of sea sick
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
but the crowd called out for more
F Am Dm Dm7
the room was humming harder
G G7 Em G7
As the ceiling flew away
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
When we called out for another drink
F Am Dm7
the waiter brought a tray
Chorus :
G7 C Cmaj7 Am Am7
And so it was that later
F Am Dm Dm7
As the miller told his tale
G G7 Em G7
That her face at first just ghostly
C F C G7
Turned a whiter shade of pale
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
She said "There is no reason,
F Am Dm Dm7
And the truth is plain to see,"
G G7 Em G7
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
And would not let her be
F Am Dm Dm7
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G G7 Em G7
Who were leaving for the coast
C Cmaj7 Am Am7
And although my eyes were open
F Am Dm7
They might just as well have been closed
Chorus :
G7 C Cmaj7 Am Am7
And so it was that later
F Am Dm Dm7
As the miller told his tale
G G7 Em G7
That her face at first just ghostly
C F C
