Melinda Schneider  The Story Of My Life

Intro: A  F#m  E  D


       A
I was born in '71
          F#m
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
         E
Got no brother sister ties
         D
I'm an only child
      A
Nana sang to me on the swing
          F#m
Made me laugh with her tickling
           E
Took the stage at the age of 3
        D
It was mum and me

   E
I remember when I would fall asleep
       D                 A
Under mum's fur coat backstage
   E
How the sound of her voice would comfort me
        D                    A
And I guess that nothing's changed
  F#m           D
So here I am before you now
   A                     E
Still trying to get it right
            F#m D           F#m          E  A
That's the story that's the story of my life


  A
17 I was fashion queen
        F#m
It was great lycra tights were in
         E
I would sew for half the night
              D
Just to look right
       A
Met a man he was everything
          F#m
Broke my heart I was 20 then
         E
Had to learn how to be strong
        D
How to move on


     E
I remember when I cried all night
     D             A
When my dog Rhoda died
        E
And at 15 when I lost my Nan
          D              A
She said God was by her side
    F#m       D
So here I am before you now
  A                      E
Still trying to get it right
            F#m D             F#m        E
That's the story that's the story of my life



  F#m      D           F#m              E
Ooooh    oh yeah   that's the story  of my life

 F#m  D       F#m     E
Oooooooh     Ooooooh  yeah yeah


    E
I remember the way he looked at me
         D                  A
When I walked on down the aisle
    E
And how I cried those happy tears
     D             A
when I became his wife
         F#m        D
And yet here I am before you now
  A                      E
Still trying to get it right
            F#m D            F#m         E
That's the story that's the story of my life
            F#m D            F#m         E  A
That's the story that's the story of my life


       A
I was born in 71
          F#m
Policeman dad and a yodelling mum
       E
I am proud of where I'm from
          D
And who I've become
