    My Brilliant Feat

This is a tab from the acoustic guitar version on the album "Going Somewhere"

Standard tuning.

Chords uses:

G - 320033
D - XX0232
Dsus4 - XXXX0233
G/B - X20033
Cadd9 - X32033
Em7 - 022033

Alot of it is palm muted on the recording, you can hear where if you
listen but it doesn't really matter much if you do it too or not.

Intro: G - D - G/B - Cadd9

He plays the intro like this on the recording, though just strumming the basic
chords is fine. I won't put the strumming pattern as you can hear it and figure
out the timing yourself.

G                      D
Did someone call my name

G/B              Cadd9                G
Like a distant drum thats beating

          D            G/B            Cadd9
or is it just another dream of long ago

G                        D
I dance again, I am spinning

G/B                  Cadd9      G
In the light, I am living

                     D    G/B                 Cadd9      
And I can feel the power, rushing through my veins



Bridge:

D                         Cadd9     
Once upon a time, I could do no wrong

D                              Cadd9    
Though the candle flickers, the flame is never gone

(walk on the A string as in the intro going onto the D, and alternate the D with Dsus4)

Chorus

G                 D 
To my brilliant feat

G/B                D
May they all pay heed

G             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
I hear the crowd roar, oh so loudly


Second verse and bridge, then the second chorus is extended:

G                 D 
To my brilliant feat

G/B                D
May they all pay heed

G             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
I hear the crowd roar, oh so loudly

G                 D 
To my brilliant feat

G/B                D
I make grown men weep

Em7             Cadd9      Dsus4     D        
And still my eyes grow, oh so cloudy


After the last chorus play Em7 - Cadd9 - D to finish.
