I looked out this morning and the sun was gone,

                        /                 \
D                       G(C)     G(B)   G(G)
Turned on some music to start my day,

     D                  G(C)   G(B)   G(G)
Then lost myself in a familiar song,

  D                    G(C)              G(B)
I closed my eyes and I slipped away...

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)

       G             C         Em              D
When I hear that old song they used to play
                               (more than a feeling)

    G       C         Em             D
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

       G       C           Eb       Em7
'Til I see Marianne walk a-way,

D                   G(C)     G(B)    G(G)
So many people have come and gone,

                        /                  \
      D                 G(C)     G(B)    G(G)
Their faces fade as the years go by;

                        /                \
    D                   G(C)   B(B)    G(G)
Yet I still recall as I wonder on, 

   D                       C          G  
as clear as the sun In the summer sky


Am      Am(G)    D      D

G       C        Em     D
G       C        Em     D

It's more than a feeling (more than a feeling)

When I hear that old song they used to play
                               (more than a feeling)
    G       C         Em             D
And I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
