A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Procol Harum

We skipped the light fandango-----
7 -8 -8 7 -6 7 -6
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
-7 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
I was feeling kinda seasick
6 8 -8 7 7 -6 8
the crowd called out for more
7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -8
The room was humming harder
-6 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
as the ceiling flew a-way-
-8 8 9 9 9 8 -10 8 8 -8 7
When we called out for another drink-
7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -6
the waiter brought a tray
Припев:
8 8 9 -10 9 8 8 -8 7 -8 8
And so it was-- that la-- ter---
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -6
as the miller told his tale
-7 -6 -7 -6 -7 -6 -6 6
that her face, at first just ghostly,
-6 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 7 8 -8 7
turned a whit-er---- shade of pale--
6 8 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -6 6
She said, 'There is no reason---
7 7 -8 -8 7 -6 7 -6
and the truth is plain to see--'
-7 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 6
But I wandered through my playing cards
6 8 -8 7 7 -6 8
and would not- let her be
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -8
one of sixteen vestal virgins
-6 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
who were leaving for the coast
-8 8 9 9 9 8 -10 8 -8 7
and although my eyes were o---pen---
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -6
they might have just as well been closed
(repeat chorus)
6 8 -8 8 -8 -8 7 -6 6
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
7 7 -8 -8 7 -6 7 -6
though in truth we were at sea-
-7 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 6
so I took her by the looking glass
6 8 -8 7 7 -6 8
and forced her- to agree
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -8
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
-6 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
who took Neptune for a ride.'
-8 8 9 9 9 8 -10 8 -8 7
But she smiled at me so sad-ly----
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -6
that my anger straightway died
(Повтор припева)

If music be the food of love
7 7 -8 -8 7 -6 7 -6
then laughter is its queen--
-7 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6 6
and likewise if behind is in front
6 8 -8 7 7 -6 8
then dirt in truth is clean
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -8
My mouth by then like cardboard
-6 -6 -7 -7 -6 -6 -6 6
seemed to slip straight through my head
-8 8 9 9 9 8 -10 8 -8 7
So we crash-dived straightway quick-ly----
7 7 -8 7 -8 -6 7 -6
and attacked the ocean bed-
