That Was Me

Tom: A

That was me, at the scout camp, in the school play, spade and bucket

By the sea, that was me

That was me, playing conkers, at the bus stop, on a blanket

In the bluebells, that was me

    D            A
The same me that stands here now
D                 A
When I think that all this stuff
    D                   A             E
Can make a life, it's pretty hard to take it in
         A
That was me

A
Well, that was me, Royal Irish, on the river, Mersey beatin'

With the band, that was me

Yeah that was me, sweatin' cobwebs, under contract, in the cellar

On TV, that was me

    D            A
The same me that stands here now
   D                 A
If fate decreed that all of this
      D                 A           E
Would make a lifetime, who am I to disagree?
         A
That was me
               A
Yeah, that was me

D  A  D  A

A
That was me, a capella, at the altar, in the middle

Of the picture, that was me

That was me, at the party, sweatin' cobwebs, in the cellar

On TV, yeah that was me

    D            A
The same me that stands here now
D                 A
When I think that all this stuff
    D                   A             E
Can make a life, it's pretty hard to take it in
         A
That was me, that was me, yeah
