A Whiter Shade Of Pale Ukulele Chords

This is a chord arangement I wrote for Low-G Ukulele, based on Babbm's excellent guitar chords
(https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/p/procol_harum/a_whiter_shade_of_pale_ver4_crd.htm).  I replaced the
chord-over-alternate-bass chords with similar open chords, to emphasize the descending bass line feel of the
song.  For example, F/E (F chord over an E note in the bass) becomes Am (replacing an F with an E).  There's
only one somewhat uncommon chord here, C/B, which really kicks off the bass line each time through.  A few
chords are repeated in the fingering chart, to show how they are used in various ways.  Also, the main line of
the song is the 12 chords in the chart, played in the order listed.
 
Note on Strumming Pattern:  Pattern as shown sounds good, but try replacing the down stroke
on 2& and 4& with a single bass note (string 4).
 
C   - 0003 (also try 5003 to emphasize the descending base)
C/B - 4003
Am  - 2000
Am7 - 0000 (replaces Am/G)
F   - 2010
Am  - 2000 (replaces F/E)
Dm  - 2210
F   - 2010 (replaces Dm/C)
G   - 0232
G7  - 0212 (replaces G/F)
Em  - 0432
G   - 0232 (replaces Em/D)
 
 
[Intro]
C C/B Am Am7  F Am Dm F  G G7 Em G  C F  G F G
 
[Verse]
C     C/B              Am     Am7
We skipped the light fandango
F    Am                     Dm    F
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
G       G7          Em      G
I was feeling kinda seasick
C        C/B           Am         Am7
but the crowd called out for more
F       Am          Dm     F
The room was humming harder
G       G7          Em    G
as the ceiling flew away
C          C/B            Am     Am7
When we called out for another drink
F       Am          Dm
the waiter brought a tray
 
[Chorus]
G7          C  C/B        Am    Am7
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       Am             Dm  F
as the miller told his tale
G   G7                  Em           G
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G
turned a whiter shade of pale
C C/B Am Am7  F Am Dm F  G G7 Em G  C F  G F G
 
[Verse 2]
C     C/B              Am     Am7
She said there is no reason
F        Am              Dm    F
And the truth is plain to see
G       G7                Em       G
But I wandered through my playing cards
C       C/B       Am       Am7
Would not let her be
F       Am           Dm      F
One of sixteen vestal virgins
G        G7             Em    G
Who were leaving for the coast
C           C/B           Am   Am7
And although my eyes were o____pen
F       Am                  Dm
They might just as well been closed
 
[Chorus]
G7          C  C/B        Am    Am7
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       Am             Dm  F
as the miller told his tale
G   G7                  Em           G
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G
turned a whiter shade of pale
C C/B Am Am7  F Am Dm F  G G7 Em G  C F  G
 
[Bridge]
G7          C  C/B        Am    Am7
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       Am             Dm  F
as the miller told his tale
 
[Chorus]
G7          C  C/B        Am    Am7
And so it was,___ that later,____
F       Am             Dm  F
as the miller told his tale
G   G7                  Em           G
that her face, at first just ghostly,
           C    F        C    G
turned a whiter shade of pale
