My Brilliant Feat Chords
by Colin Hay
My Brilliant Feat by Colin Hay is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of G. It uses the chords G, D, G/B, Cadd9, Dsus4 and Em7. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
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.
e|--3---------2--3--3------3---------2--3--2--3-----------------------------|
B|--3---------3--3--3------3---------3--3--3--3-----------------------------|
G|--0---------2--0--0----0-0---------2--0--0--0-----------------------------|

E|--3----------------------3------------------------------------------------|
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.
Comments welcome.
