[Verse 1].
[C] [G7] [C] [G7] [Em] [G] [C] [G7] [Em] [G] [C] [Dm] [A7]
And now, the end is near, and so I face, the fin-al curtain.
[Am] [Fm] [Am] [Fm] [G] [Dm] [F] [C]
My friend, I'll say it clear; I'll state my case, of which, I'm certain.
[C] [C7] [Am] [Am7] [F] [C] [F]
I've lived, a live that's full, I’ve travelled each, and every highway;
[G7] [C] [G] [F] [C] [Dm] [G7] [Dm] [C]
And more, much more than this, I did it, my …… way.
[Verse 2].
[G] [C] [G7] [C] [G7] [Em] [G] [C] [G7] [Em] [G] [C] [Dm] [A7]
Regrets, I've had a few, but then a - gain, too few to mention.
[Am] [Fm] [Am] [Fm] [G] [Dm] [F] [C]
I did, what I had to do, and saw it through, without, exemption.
[C7] [Am] [Am7] [F] [C] [F]
I planned, each chattered course, each careful step, along the byway;
[G7] [C] [G] [F] [C] [Dm] [G7] [Dm] [C]
And more, much more than this, I did it, my …… way.

[Em] [F] [C] [Am] [C] [F] [C] [Em] [F] [Am7] [Am] [G7] [Am] [E7] [Dm7]
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off, more, than I could chew.
[G] [Am] [C] [Dm7] [C] [F] [G7] [C] [Dm] [C] [G7] [Dm] [C]
But thru it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up, and spit it out;
[Am] [C] [Dm] [C] [G7] [C] [Dm] [C]
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it, my ……. way.
Verse 3
[G] [C] [G7] [C] [G7] [Em] [G] [C] [G7] [Em] [G7] [C] [Dm] [A7]
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve had my fill, my share of losing.
[Am] [Fm] [Am] [Fm] [G] [Dm] [F] [C]
And now, as tears subside, I find it all, so, am - u – sing.
[C7] [Am] [Am7] [F] [C] [F]
To think, I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way;
[G7] [C] [G] [F] [C] [Dm] [G7] [Dm] [C]
Oh no, oh no not me, I did it, my ……. way.
Outro
[Em] [F] [C] [Am] [C] [F] [C] [Em] [F] [Am7] [Am] [G7] [Am] [G7] [Dm7]
For what is a man, what has he got, if not him-self, then he has naught,
[G] [Am] [C] [Dm7] [F] [G7] [C] [Dm] [C] [G7] [Dm] [C]
To say the things, he truly feels, and not the words, of one who kneels,
[Am] [G7] [C] [Dm] [C] [G7] [C] [Dm] [C]
The record shows, I took the blows and did it, my … way.
