Whiter Shade Of Pale
Procol Harum 1967
  (Sting 21411)   Paul Bristow
 
two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more

Four ladies chain - and so it was that later
Chain them home - as the miller told his tale
Promenade - that her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale

ALTERNATE LYRICS

*She said, 'There is no reason and the truth is plain to see'
But I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be


*She said, 'I'm home on shore leave'
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass and forced her to agree


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Four ladies chain 3/4 and the heads (sides) promenade halfway
Heads (sides) lead right and star thru
Boys walk, girls dodge - I say - single hinge
Girls you trade, and then you swing thru
Swing your girl and you promenade
Her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale


TAG

You swing your girl
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
