[Verse 1]
G Bm
And now, the end is near,
Dm E7
And so I face, the final curtain.
Am Am7
My friend, I'll say it clear,
D7 G
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
[Verse 2]
G G7
I've lived, a life that's full,
C Cm
I've traveled each, and every highway.
G D7
And more, much more than this,
C G
I did it my way.
[Verse 3]
G Bm
Regrets, I've had a few,
Dm E7
But then again, too few to mention.
Am Am7
I did, what I had to do,
D7 G
And saw it through, without exemption.
[Verse 4]
G G7
I planned, each chartered course,
C Cm
Each careful step, along the byway.
G D7
And more, much more than this,
C G
I did it my way.
[Verse 5]
G G7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
C
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
Am D7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
Bm7 Em
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Am D7
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
C G
And did it my way.
[Verse 6]
G Bm
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
Dm E7
I've had my fill, my share of losing.
Am Am7
And now, as tears subside,
D7 G
I find it all so amusing.
[Verse 7]
G G7
To think, I did all that,
C Cm
And may I say, not in a shy way.
G D7
Oh, no, oh, no not me,
C G
I did it my way.
[Verse 8]
G G7
For what is a man? What has he got?
C
If not himself, then he has naught.
Am D7
To say the things, he truly feels,
Bm7 Em
And not the words, of one who kneels.
Am D7
The record shows, I took the blows,
N.C. C G
And did it my way.
[Instrumental]
G F E C Cm
G G/F# Em
[Outro]
D G
Yes it was my way
