Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

D C G

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone

D C G

Turned on some music to start my day

D C G

I lost myself in a familiar song

D C G

I closed my eyes and I slipped away

Chorus

Am G D

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

Am G D

When I hear that old song they used to play

Am G

I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)

Am G D

Till I see Marianne walk away

Am Em D

I see my Marianne walkin’ away

Verse 2

D C G

So many people have come and gone

D C G

Their faces fade as the years go by

D C G

Yet I still recall as I wander on

D C G

As clear as the sun in the summer sky
