[Intro]
Cadd9 Csus2 G   x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
      Cadd9
I was coming to the end of a long, long walk
 
When a man crawled out of a cardboard box
          G
Under the E Street Bridge
            D
Followed me on to it
Cadd9
I went out halfway across
 
With that homeless shadow tagging along
     G
So I dug for some change
                 D
Wouldn't need it anyway
   Cadd9                       Am
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
             C
He said, You know, I haven't always been this way
 
 
[Chorus]
            G
I've had my moments, days in the sun
C
Moments I was second to none
Am                               Dsus               D
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
          G
Like that plane ride coming home from the war
     C
That summer my son was born
    Am
And memories like a coat so warm
  Dsus            D
A cold wind can't get through
C
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
 
But I've had my moments
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Cadd9
I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
 
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
      G
Would care at all
        D
Miss me when I'm gone
     Cadd9
That old man just kept hanging around
 
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
           G
I think he recognized
          D
That look in my eyes
Cadd9                           Am
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
            C
I said, You know, I haven't always been this way
 
 
[Chorus]
            G
I've had my moments, days in the sun
C
Moments I was second to none
Am                               Dsus               D
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
         G
Like the day I walked away from the wine
      C
for a woman who became my wife
      Am
And a love that, when it was right
      Dsus       D
could always see me through 
C
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
 
But I've had my moments
 
 
[Bridge]
       Em                                  C
I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
     Am                      Dsus     D
That old man tells his story one more time
 
He says
 
 
[Chorus]
            G
I've had my moments, days in the sun
C
Moments I was second to none
Am                               Dsus               D
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
          G
Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
       C
When a young man almost ended it
      Am
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit
      Dsus            D
And I helped to pull him through
C
Lookin' at me now you might not know it
    C                                C
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it
                       Cadd9 Csus2 G
But I've had my moments
 
 
[Outro]
                    Cadd9 Csus2 G
I've had my moments
                    Cadd9 Csus2 G
I've had my moments
                    Cadd9 Csus2 G
I've had my moments

The second chorus has different lyrics. Should be, "I've had my moments, days in the sun Moments I was second none Moments when I do I did what I thought I couldn't do. Like that day I walked away from the wine For a woman who became my wife And a love that, when it was right, could always see me through. Looking at me now you might not know it But I've had my moments."
