Moments
View chords used in this chart
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
