Strumming
Tuning: G C E A
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]
