Biography:
Procol Harum is a British rock band formed in London, England, in 1967. They contributed to the development of progressive rock, and by extension, symphonic rock. The band's claim to fame is 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', a huge hit in 1967. The band differed from most of the progressive rock bands of the 70s in the relatively prominent blues component to their sound, largely due to the voice and piano of leader Gary Brooker. In the early years, Matthew Fisher's organ and Robin Trower's guitar combined for a unique sound.

[Intro]
C F G F x2
[Verse 1]
C F
They say this fair city
G Am
Has ten thousand souls
F C
Some live in mansions
G
And some live in holes
C F/A
Some eat from silver
G Am
And some eat from gold
F C
Some sift through garbage
G
And sleep in the cold
C F C
Sleep out in the cold
[Chorus 1]
Am D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G C D G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
G#dim Am D G
And a babe in a cradle and a cat with the cream
G#dim Am G F C F G F
And an old English church yard and an old English dream
[Verse 2]
C F
Once we had a country
G Am
And thought it so fair
F C
If you look through the mirror
G
You can still find it there
C F/A
But now our great country
G Am
Is broken and torn
F C
And all of its promise
G
And liberties worn
C F C
All of its liberties worn
[Chorus 2]
Am D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G C D G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars

And an old English church yard and an old English dream
[Instrumental]
C F G Am F C G
[Verse 3]
C F
I saw a great plain in winter
G Am
All covered in snow
F C
Ten thousand soldiers
G
Marched to and fro
C F/A
I saw a broken down building
G Am
With ten thousand doors
F C
None of them open
G
None of them yours
C F C G C F C
Not a one of them yours
[Chorus 3]
Am D
I saw a great highway that stretched to the stars
G C D G
I saw a deep river all choked up with cars
