The Story Of My Life

Written by Melinda Schneider/Vanessa Corish/Paul Begaud Intro Chords: I was born in '71 Policeman dad and a yodelling mum Got no brother sister ties I'm an only child Nana sang to me on the swing Made me laugh with her tickling Took the stage at the age of 3 It was mum and me I remember when I would fall asleep Under mum's fur coat backstage How the sound of her voice would comfort me And I guess that nothing's changed So here I am before you now Still trying to get it right That's the story that's the story of my life 17 I was fashion queen It was great lycra tights were in I would sew for half the night Just to look right Met a man he was everything Broke my heart I was 20 then Had to learn how to be strong How to move on I remember when I cried all night When my dog Rhoda died And at 15 when I lost my Nan She said God was by her side So here I am before you now Still trying to get it right That's the story that's the story of my life Ooooh oh yeah that's the story of my life Oooooooh Ooooooh yeah yeah I remember the way he looked at me When I walked on down the aisle And how I cried those happy tears when I became his wife And yet here I am before you now Still trying to get it right That's the story that's the story of my life That's the story that's the story of my life I was born in 71 Policeman dad and a yodelling mum I am proud of where I'm from And who I've become
