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.

4 B/B
C Em/B Am C/G F F/E Dm Dm/C G G/F Em G7/D C F G
Verse 1 (same for Verse 2, verse 2 lyrics at bottom)
C Em/B Am C/G
We skipped the light fandango
F F/E Dm Dm/C
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G G/F Em G7/D
I was feeling kinda seasick
C Em/B Am C/G
but the crowd called out for more
F F/E Dm Dm/C
The room was humming harder
G G/F Em G7/D
as the ceiling flew away
C Em/B Am C/G
When we called out for another drink
F F/E Dm
the waiter brought a tray
Chorus
G C Em/B Am C/G

and the truth is plain to see.'
G G/F Em G7/D
But I wandered through my playing cards
C Em/B Am C/G
and would not let her be
F F/E Dm Dm/C
one of sixteen vestal virgins
G G/F Em G7/D
who were leaving for the coast
C Em/B Am C/G
and although my eyes were open
F F/E Dm
they might have just as well've been closed
Chorus
G C Em/B Am C/G
And so it was,___ that later,____
F F/E Dm Dm/C
as the miller told his tale
