Intro
[C]
[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 traveled each and every highway
[C] [G] [F] [C]
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
[C] [Em]
Regrets, I've had a few
[Gm] [A7]
but then again, too few to mention
[Dm] [Dm7]
I did what I had to do
[G7] [C]
and saw it through without exemption
[C] [C7]
I planned each chartered course
[F] [Fm]
each careful step along the byway
[C] [G] [F] [C]
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
[C] [C7]
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
[F] [Fm]
when I bit off more than I could chew
[Dm7] [G]
But through it all, when there was doubt
[Em] [Am]
I ate it up, and spit it out
[Dm7] [G] [F] [C]
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way
[C] [Em]
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
[Gm] [A7]
I've had my fill, my share of losing
[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] [F] [C]
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way
[C] [C7]
For what is a man, what has he got
[F]
if not himself, then he has not
[Dm7] [G]
To say the things he truly feels
[Em] [Am]
And not the words of one who kneels
[Dm7] [G] [F] [C]
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
[Dm7] [G] [F] [C]
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
