Moments

D I was coming to the end of a long, long walk When a man crawled out of a cardboard box A Under the E Street Bridge E Followed me on to it D I went out halfway across With that homeless shadow taggin' along A So I dug for some change E Wouldn't need it anyway Bm E He took it looking just a bit ashamed D E He said, ‘You know I haven't always been this way’ [Refrão] A I've had my moments, days in the sun D Moments I was second to none Bm A E Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do A Like that plane ride comin' home from the war D That summer my son was born Bm A E Mem'ries like a coat so warm the cold wind can't get through D Lookin' at me now you might not know it A But I've had my moments D Well, I stood there tryin' to find my nerve A Wondered if a single soul on earth would care at all E Miss me when I'm gone D That old man just kept hangin' around Lookin' at me lookin' down A E I think he recognized that look in my eyes Bm E Standing with him there I felt ashamed D E I said, ‘You know I haven't always been this way’… [Refrão] A I've had my moments, days in the sun D Moments I was second to none Bm A E Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do A Like the day I walked away from the wine D For a woman who became my wife Bm A E A love that, when it was right could always see me through D Lookin' at me now you might not know it A A B C# E But I've had my moments Bridge A D I know somewhere 'round the trash can fire tonight Bm A E That old man tells his story one more time, he says… [Refrão] A I've had my moments days in the sun D Moments I was second to none Bm A E Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do A Like that cool night on the E Street Bridge D When a young man almost ended it Bm I was right there wasn't scared a bit A E And I helped to pull him through D Lookin' at me now you might not know it Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it A But I've had my moments I've had my moments ________________________________________________ Transposed by: Eddie Garcia (string50@hotmail.com)
