D                 D7M
And now the end is near
          D7              B7
And so I face the final curtain
     Em                 Em7
My friend, I'll say it clear
               A7             D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

      D                   D7
I've lived a life that's full
                G              Gm
I've travelled each and every highway
      D                   A
And more, much more than this
          G     D
I did it my    way

    D              D7M
Re-grets, I've had a few
           D7               B7
But then again, too few to men-tion
   Em             Em7
I did what I had to do
             A7                  D
And saw it through  without  exemption

     D                  D7
I planned each charted course
               G             Gm
Each careful step along the by way
      D                   A
And more, much more than this
         G     D
I did it my   way

Refrão:
                D                   D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
            G
When I bit off more than I could chew
                Em                  A7
But through it all when there was doubt
         F#m              Bm
I ate it up and spit it out
       Em7                   A
I faced it all, and I stood tall
            G    D
And did it my   way

(Segue com os mesmos acordes do verso)

                               D7M
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
              D7                 B7
I've had my fails, my share of loosing
     Em               Em7
And now as tears subside
          A7           D
I find it all so amusing

                 D7
To think I did all that
            G             Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way
     D           A7
Oh, no, no I not me
          G    D
I did it my way


(refrão)

              D                   D7
For what is a man, what has he got,
          G
If not himself, then he has not,
              Em              A7
To say the things, he truly feels,
              F#m               Bm
And not the words of one who kneels
            Em7                 A
The record shows, I took the blows,
              G  D
And did it my way
