Standard (EADGBE)
I looked out this morning and the sun was gone,
Turned on some music to start my day,
Then lost myself in a familiar song.
I closed my eyes and I
slipped away...
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)
'Til I see Marianne walk a-way,
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 wonder on, as clear as the sun
In the summer sky.
Chorus
Main solo
When I'm tired I'm 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 slipped away. She slipped away

better on electrics.
The chord changes for the solo are as follows:
with / / representing 1 measure.
Additional Notes by Oliver K. Reichl:
There are at least five "guitars" in this tune. The electric is
definitely some sort of Les Paul (of vintage stock with Scholzian
modifications, no doubt).
