My Brilliant Feat — Colin Hay

Chords and lyrics for My Brilliant Feat by Colin Hay (key of G).

Verse 1

This is a tab from the acoustic guitar version on the album "Going
Somewhere"
Chords used:
G - 320033
D - xx0232
Dsus4 - xx0233
G/B - x20033
Cadd9 - x32033
A lot 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 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.

Verse

[G]Did someone call my [D]name
[G/B]Like a distant [Cadd9]drum thats beating[G]
or is it [D]just another [G/B]dream of long [Cadd9]ago
[G]I dance again, I am [D]spinning
[G/B]In the light, I am [Cadd9]living[G]
And I can feel the [D]power, [G/B]rushing through my [Cadd9]veins

Bridge

[D]Once upon a time, I could [Cadd9]do no wrong
[D]Though the candle flickers, the[Cadd9] 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]To my brilliant [D]feat
[G/B]May they all pay [D]heed
[G]I hear the [Cadd9]crowd roar, oh[Dsus4] so loudly[D]
Second verse and bridge, then the second chorus is extended:
[G]To my brilliant [D]feat
[G/B]May they all pay [D]heed
[G]I hear the [Cadd9]crowd roar, oh[Dsus4] so loudly[D]
[G]To my brilliant [D]feat
[G/B]I make grown men [D]weep
[Em7]And still my [Cadd9]eyes grow, oh [Dsus4]so cloudy[D]
After the last chorus play Em7 - Cadd9 - D to finish.
