Chord/Tab song: The Story of My Life

Melinda Schneider The Story Of My Life

Intro: A F#m E D


I was b[A]orn in '71
Policeman [F#m]dad and a yodelling mum
Got no br[E]other sister ties
I'm an on[D]ly child
Nana s[A]ang to me on the swing
Made me la[F#m]ugh with her tickling
Took the st[E]age at the age of 3
It was m[D]um and me


I r[E]emember when I would fall asleep
Under m[D]um's fur coat back[A]stage
How[E] the sound of her voice would comfort me
And I gu[D]ess that nothing's ch[A]anged
So[F#m] here I am bef[D]ore you now
Sti[A]ll trying to get it ri[E]ght
That's the s[F#m]tory[D] that's the [F#m]story of my l[E]ife[A]


17[A] I was fashion queen
It was g[F#m]reat lycra tights were in
I would s[E]ew for half the night
Just to look r[D]ight
Met a m[A]an he was everything
Broke my h[F#m]eart I was 20 then
Had to le[E]arn how to be strong
How to m[D]ove on


I rem[E]ember when I cried all night
When [D]my dog Rhoda d[A]ied
And at 1[E]5 when I lost my Nan
She said G[D]od was by her s[A]ide
So h[F#m]ere I am b[D]efore you now
St[A]ill trying to get it ri[E]ght
That's the s[F#m]tory[D] that's the st[F#m]ory of my l[E]ife



Oo[F#m]ooh oh[D] yeah that[F#m]'s the story of [E]my life

O[F#m]ooooo[D]oh O[F#m]oooooh [E]yeah yeah


I re[E]member the way he looked at me
When I wa[D]lked on down the ai[A]sle
And [E]how I cried those happy tears
when [D]I became his w[A]ife
And yet h[F#m]ere I am be[D]fore you now
St[A]ill trying to get it ri[E]ght
That's the s[F#m]tory[D] that's the s[F#m]tory of my l[E]ife
That's the s[F#m]tory[D] that's the s[F#m]tory of my l[E]ife[A]


I was b[A]orn in 71
Policeman [F#m]dad and a yodelling mum
I am pr[E]oud of where I'm from
And who I'[D]ve become
