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.

Verse 2:
Gm G Eb Bb
My Amazon six-triggered bride
(Bb) Cm Gm
Now searching for a place to hide
(Gm) G Eb Bb
Still sees truth quite easily
(Bb) Cm Gm
Shrouds all else in mystery
Cm Eb7 Gm
While madmen in top hats and tails
Cm Eb7 Gm
Impale themselves on six inch nails
Bb Gm Cm Gm
And some Arabian also-ran
Bb Gm Cm Gm
Impersonates a watering can
[repeat intro w/full band after each verse]
Verse 2:
Some Santa Claus-like face of note
Entreats my ears to set afloat
My feeble, sick, and weary brain
And I am overcome with shame
And hide inside my overcoat
And hurriedly begin to quote
And some Arabian sheik most grand
Impersonates a hot dog stand
Instrumental break:
(guitar solo over verse chords)
Verse 3:
Red Cross ambulance outside
Could only mean that I must hide
'Til dusk and finally the night
When I will make a hasty flight
Across the sea and far away
To where the weary exiles stay
And some Arabian oil well
Impersonates a padded cell
Coda:
Bb Gm Cm Gm
And some Arabian oil well
Bb Gm Cm Gm
Impersonates a padded cell
[repeat intro; end cold on last Gm of 2nd repeat]
