Intro: 4/4 ‖ | 𝄎 ‖
D F#m
1. And now, the end is near
Am6 B7
And so I face the fi-nal cur-tain
Em Em7
My friend, I'll say it clear
A7 D
I'll state my case, of which I'm cer-tain
D7
I've lived a life that's full
G Gm
I trav-eled each and ev'-ry high-way
D A7 G6 D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
D F#m
2. Re-grets, I've had a few
Am6 B7
But then a-gain, too few to men-tion
Em Em7
I did what I had to do
A7 D
I saw it through without ex-emp-tion
D7
I planned each char-ted course
G Gm
Each care-ful step a-long the high-way
D A7 G6 D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
D D7
** Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
G
When I bit off more than I could chew
Em7 A7
And thru it all, when there was doubt
F#m7 Bm
I ate it up and spit it out
Em7 A7 D
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
D F#m
3. I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Am6 B7
I've had my fill, my share of lo-sing
Em Em7
And now, as tears sub-side,
A7 D
I find it all so a-mu-sing
D7
To think I did all that
G Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way,
D A7 G6 D
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
D D7
** For what is a man, what has he got?
G
If not him-self, then he has naught
Em7 A7
To say the things he truly feels
F#m7 Bm
And not the words of one who kneels
Em7 A7 D
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
D D7 G Gm D A7
‖ | | | | | ‖
A7 G6 D
Yes... it was my... way
