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’ 

            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’… 

            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… 


            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
