Joe Cocker - A Whiter Shade of Pale: chords

A    E/G#                F#m E
We skipped the light fandango
D       A/C#                  Bm  A E7
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
E      D             C#m  Bm A
I was feeling kinda seasick
A        E/G#                F#m E
but the crowd called out for more
D    A/C#             Bm    A E7
The room was humming harder
E       D           C#m  Bm A
as the ceiling flew away
A        E/G#           F#m          E
When we called out for another drink
D   A/C#               Bm A E7
the waiter brought a tray

Chorus:
A           E/G#    F#m E
And so it was that later
D       A/C#           Bm  A E7
As the miller told his tale
E         D                   C#m  Bm
That her face at first just ghostly
           A   D          E
Turned a whiter shade of pale

She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
But I wandered through my playing cards
Would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
At the moment my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed

Chorus - x2
