MORE THAN A FEELING
The tab was done by my former teacher Bob Neale. For ease I have tried to
indicate the chords over the tab where applicable. For the chorus rhythm,
as the album jacket reads: Listen to the music!

I woke up this morning and the sun was gone,
Turned on some music to start my day,
And lost myself in a familiar song.
I close my eyes and I

CHORUS:

It's more than a feeling (more than a feel-ing)
When I hear that old song they used to play.
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

I see my Marianne walking away.
So many people have come and gone,
Their faces fade as the years go by;
Yet I still recall as I wander on, as clear as the sun
In the summer sky.
CHORUS
When I'm tired and thinking cold,
I hide in my music, forget the day and
Dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slips away. She slips away

Notes:
For the chorus bar chords sound nice on an acoustic, power chords sound
better on electrics.
The chord changes for the solo are as follows:
/D G /A G /D G /D A /D G /Bm A /D Bm /Em A /G / F#D D/
with / / representing 1 measure.
