D            F#m/C#
And now the end is near
         Am6/C           B4    B7
And so I face the final curtain
      Em                 Em/D
My friend, I'll say it  clear
              A/C#               D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

      D    D7M               D7(9) D7(9-)
I've lived     a life that's full
               G              Gm6 (C7(9))
I've travelled each and every highway
     D                    A7
And more, much more than this
         G6  D
I did it my way

   D               F#m/C#
Regrets, I've had a few
         Am6/C             B4    B7
But then again, too few to mention
   Em              Em/D
I did what I had to do
             A/C#              D
And saw it through  without  exemption

     D   D7M           D7(9) D7(9-)
I planned each charted course
               G            Gm6 (C7(9))
Each careful step along the byway
     D                    A7
And more, much more than this
         G6  D
I did it my way


 A              D    D7M            D7   D7(9-)
Yes there were times,    I'm sure you knew
            G
When I bit off more than I could chew
 G    G/F#     Em7                 A7
But through it all when there was doubt
A/G     F#m7            Bm7
I ate it up and spit it out
           Em7               A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
           G6  D
And did it my way

      D                      F#m/C#
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
            Am6/C              B4   B7
I've had my fill, my share of loosing
    Em              Em/D
And now as tears subside
          A/C#     D
I find it all so amusing
     D    D7M          D7(9) D7(9-)
To think     I did all that
        G               Gm6 (C7(9))
And may I say, not in a shy way
     D             A7
Oh, no, oh, no not me
         G6  D
I did it my way


      A        D  D7M        D7   D7(9-)
For what is a man, what has he got
           G  G6            G7M
If not himself, then he has naught
G  G/F#    Em7               A7
To say the things, he truly feels
A/G         F#m7              Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels
            Em7               A7
The record shows, I took the blows
           G6  D
And did it my way

(A  D  D7M  Am7  D7(9-)  G  Gm6  D  F#m/C#  Bm7 )

 A          G6   D
Yes, it was my way
