   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

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 wonder on, as clear as the sun 
In the summer sky. 

-Chorus-

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

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  /  DF# D/ 
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). 

Guitar #1: 12-string acoustic 
Guitar #2: 6-string electric (rhythm, power chords) 
Guitar #3: 6-string electric (leads-melody) 
Guitar #4: 6-string electric (leads-harmony) 
Guitar #5: bass guitar
