C                 Em
And now the end is near
          Gm6                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                   Gm6
I've lived a life that's full
                F              Fm
I've travelled each and every highway
      C                   G7
And more, much more than this
        F Fm6        C
I did it my       way

   C                 Em
Re-grets, I've had a few
           Gm6                    A7
But then again, too few to men-tion
   Dm             Dm7
I did what I had to do
             G7                  C
And saw it through  without  exemption

     C                     Gm6
I planned each charted course
               F             Fm
Each careful step along the by way
      C                   G7
And more, much more than this
        F Fm6        C
I did it my       way

                C                 Gm6
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
            F                  F
When I bit off more than I could chew
                Dm7                 G7
But through it all when there was doubt
         Em               Am
I ate it up and spit it out
       Dm7                  G7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
           F Fm6       C
And did it my       way

    C                    Em
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
           Gm6                A7
I've had my fails, my share of loosing
   Dm             Dm7
And now as tears subside
          G7       C
I find it all so amusing

    C        Gm6
To think I did all that
               F             Fm
And may I say, not in a shy way
   C          G7
Oh, no, no not me
        F Fm6        C
I did it my       way

          C                 Gm6
For what is a man, what has he got,
             F               F
If not himself, then he has naught,
           Dm7                 G7
To say the things, he truly feels,
               Em               Am
And not the words of one who kneels.
             Dm7               G7
The record shows, I took the blows,
          F Fm6   C
And did it my   way.
