(C) (Em)
And now the end is near
(Gm) (A7)
And so I face the final curtain
(Dm) (Dm7)+
My friend, I\'ll say it clear
(G7) (C)
I\'ll state my case of which I\'m certain
(C) (C7)
I\'ve lived a life that\'s full
(F) (Fm)
I\'ve travelled each and every highway
(C) (G)
And more, much more than this
(F) (C)
I did it my way
(C) (Em)
Re-grets, I\'ve had a few
(Gm) (A7)
But then again, too few to men-tion
(Dm) (Dm7)+
I did what I had to (Do)
(G7) (C)
And saw it through without exemption
(C) (C7)
I planned each charted course
(F) (Fm)
Each careful step along the by way
(C) (G)
And more, much more than this
(F) (C)
I did it my way
(C) (C7)
Yes there were times, I\'m sure you knew
(F)
When I bit off more than I could chew
(Dm) (G7)
But through it all when there was doubt
(Em) (Am)
I ate it up and spit it out
(Dm7)+ (G)
I faced it all, and I stood tall
(F) (C)
And did it my way
(C) (Em)
I\'ve loved, I\'ve laughed and cried
(Gm) (A7)
I\'ve had my fails, my share of loosing
(Dm) (Dm7)+
And now as tears subside
(G7) (C)
I find it all so amusing
(C) (C7)
To think, I did all that
(F) (Fm)
And may I say, not in a shy way
(C) (G)
Oh, no, no I not me
(F) (C)
I did it my way
(C) (C7)
For what is a man, what has he got
(F)
If not himself, then he has not,
(Dm) (G7)
To say the things, he truly feels,
(Em) (Am)
And not the words of one who kneels.
(Dm7)+ (G)
The record shows, I took the blows,
(F) (C)
And did it my way.
