MORE THAN A FEELING written by Tom Scholz performed by Boston (1st album)

INTRO AND VERSES

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...

Am Am/G bass D

PRE-CHORUS RIFF:

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

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
