It's called A Whiter Shade of Pale
and it's been covered by nearly 100 different artists.
They've since made 11 albums and become pretty legendary,
which isn't bad for a band named after a pedigree cat.

[B] I was feeling _ [Em] kinda seasick _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Em] But the crowd called out [Am] for more

_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am]
The room was humming [Dm] harder
_ [F] As _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [B] the ceiling flew [Em] away
_ [G] When _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Em] we called out [Am] for another [C] drink
[Gm] The _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Am] waiter brought a [Dm] tray
_ _ _ [G] _
[A] And [Em] so [C] it _ _ _ [Em] was
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
The waiter
