[Verse 1]
That was me, in 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 blue bells, that was me

[Chorus 1]
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in
That was me

[Verse 2]
Well that was me, royal iris, on the river
Mersey Beat'n with the band, that was me
Yeah that was me, sweating cobwebs under contract
In the cellar, on TV, that was me

[Chorus 2]
The same me that stands here now
If fate agreed that all of this
To make a lifetime, who am I to disagree
Oh, that was me
That was me
That was me

[Verse 3]
That was me, accapella at the altar
In the middle of the picture, that was me
That was me at the party, sweating cobwebs
In a cellar on TV yeah that was me

[Chorus 1]
The same me that stands here now
When I think that all this stuff
Can make a life that's pretty hard to take it in
That was me
That was me
Oh, that was me

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
