Verse 1
[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've traveled each, and every highway.
[C] [G7]
And more, much more than this,
[F] [C]
I did it my way.
Verse 2
[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] [G7]
And more, much more than this,
[F] [C]
I did it my way.
Bridge
[C] [C7]
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
[F]
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
[Dm] [G7]
But through it all, when there was doubt,
[Em7] [Am]
I ate it up, and spit it out.
[Dm] [G7]
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
[F] [C]
And did it my way.
Verse 3
[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] [G7]
Oh, no, oh, no not me,
[F] [C]
I did it my way.
Bridge
[C] [C7]
For what is a man? What has he got?
[F]
If not himself, then he has naught.
[Dm] [G7]
To say the things, he truly feels,
[Em7] [Am]
And not the words, of one who kneels.
[Dm] [G7]
The record shows, I took the blows,
N.C. [F] [C]
And did it my way.

Yes it was my way
