Then lost myself in a familiar song,

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

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
