Intro
[D]
[D] [Dmaj7/C#] [Am6/C] [B7]
And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
[Em] [Em7/D] [A7/C#] [Dsus4] [D]
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [D7sus2] [G] [G/F#] [Gm6]
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway
[D/A] [A7sus4] [A7] [G6] [D]
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
[D] [Dmaj7/C#] [Am6/C] [B7]
Regrets? I've had a few...but then again, too few to mention
[Em] [Em7/D] [A7/C#] [Dsus4] [D]
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption.
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [D7sus2] [G] [G/F#] [Gm6]
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
[D/A] [A7sus4] [A7] [G6] [D]
But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
[A7] [D] [Dmaj7] [D7sus4] [D7]
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
[G] [G/F#] [G]
When I bit off more than I could chew;
[F#m7] [Em7] [A7]
But through it all, when there was doubt,
[A7/G] [F#m7] [Bm] [Bm/A]
I ate it up and spit it out.
[Em7] [A7] [G6] [D]
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way.
[D] [Dmaj7/C#] [Am6/C] [B7]
I've loved, I've laughed and cried; I've had my fill, my share of losing.
[Em] [Em7/D] [A7/C#] [Dsus4] [D]
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [D7sus2] [G] [G/F#] [Gm6]
To think, I did all that... and may I say, not in a shy way,
[D/A] [A7sus4] [A7] [G6] [D]
Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way.
[A7] [D] [Dmaj7] [D7sus4] [D7]
For what is a man? What has he got?
[G] [G/F#] [G]
If not himself, then he has naught.
[F#m7] [Em7] [A7]
To say the things he truly feels
[A7/G] [F#m7] [Bm] [Bm/A]
And not the words of one who kneels
[Em7] [A7] [G6] [D]
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.
Instrumental
[D] [Dmaj7] [D7] [D7sus2] [G] [G/F#] [Gm6] [D/A] [D/C#] [A]
[A7] [G6] [D]
Yes, it was my way!
