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 (chords and rests as indicated):
Eb Ab Ab Eb (Eb)
} / / } } } / / } } } /
Verse 1:
Eb Bb Eb
The Devil came from Kansas
Bb Eb
Where he went to I can't say
Ab Eb
Though I teach I'm not a preacher
Ab Eb
And I aim to stay that way
Bb Eb
There's a monkey riding on my back
Bb Eb
Been there for some time
Ab Cm
He says he knows me very well
Fm Ab Eb
But he's no friend of mine
Chorus:
Bb Eb
I am not a humble pilgrim
Ab Ab7 Db
There's no need to scrape and squeeze
Gb Ab Bb
And don't beg for silver paper
F Ab Eb
When I'm trying to sell you cheese
Bb Eb Ab (Eb)
/ } } / / } } /
Verse 2:
The Devil came from Kansas
Where he went to I can't say
If you really are my brother
Then you better start to pray
For the sins of those departed
And the ones about to go
There's a dark cloud just above us
Don't scowl because I know
[repeat chorus]
Guitar solo:
Bb Eb Bb Eb [3X]
/ } } / / } } /
Ab Eb Bb
/ } } / / (drum fill)
Verse 3:
Though I never came from Kansas
Don't forget to thank the cook
Which reminds me of my duty
I was lost though now I look
For the turning and the signpost
And the road which takes you down
To that pool inside the forest
In whose waters I shall drown
[repeat chorus]
Coda [guitar solo; repeat to fade]
Bb Eb Bb Eb
