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

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

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
