      A7sus4                                       A7sus4
I was coming to the end of a long long walk when a man crawled out of a cardboard box under the
A                           E
E Street Bridge followed me on to it
A7sus4                              A7sus4
I went out halfway across with that homeless shadow tagging along so I
A                                    E
Dug for some change wouldn't need it anyway he
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D                            Bm
Took it lookin' just a bit a-shamed he said you
D                               D
Know I haven't always been this way I've had my
 
[Chorus]
A                       D
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm                               Esus4              E
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do like that
A                                        D
Plane ride coming home from the war that summer my son was born
Bm                             Esus4           E
Memories like a coat so warm a cold wind can't get through
D             A7sus4            D                       A
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
 
[Verse]
  A7sus4                D                       A7sus4      D
I stood there tryin' to find my nerve wondering if a single soul on Earth would
A                   E
Care at all miss me when I'm gone that
A7sus4            D              A7sus4        D
Old man just kept hanging around lookin' at me lookin' down I think he
A                    E
Recognized that look in my eyes
 
[Pre-Chorus]
D                                Bm
Standing with him there I felt a-shamed I said you
D                               D
Know I haven't always been this way I've had my
 
[Chorus]
A                       D
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm                               Esus4              E
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do  like the
A                                     D
Day I walked away from the wine for a woman who became my wife and a
Bm                                Esus4      E
Love that when it was right could always see me through
D             A7sus4            D                   A
Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my moments I know
 
[Bridge]
F#m                                 D
Somewhere 'round a trashcan fire to-night that
Bm                      Esus4    E
Old man tells his story one more time he says  I've had my
 
[Chorus]
A                       D
Moments days in the sun moments I was second to none
Bm                               Esus4              E
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do  like that
A                                        D
Cool night on the E Street Bridge when a young man almost ended it I was
Bm                                    Esus4          E
Right there wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through
D             A7sus4            D      A7sus4
Lookin' at me now you might not know it  oh
D             A7sus4            D
Lookin' at me now you might not know it I've had my moments

the A7sus4 should be a Dsus2

The first and third lines of the verse go as follows (one chord per beat) E/D A/D E/D A/D. The bass is playing a D, the melody is G# E and A. There is also a B floating around in there somewhere, indicating that this is a slash chord, not a sus chord. Slash Chords are normal chords with an unusual bass note, in this case a regular E chord with a D in the bass, followed by a regular A chord with a D in the bass.

sounds awesome!
