My Way

[Intro] D

[First Part]

     D              F#m/C#
And now the end is near
          Am             B7
And so I face the final curtain
      Em                 D4
My friend, I'll say it clear
               A7              
I'll state my case of which I'm 
  D
certain

      D    D7M                D7
I've lived     a life that's full
               G             
I've travelled each and every 
  Gm
highway
     D/A                   A7
And more, much more than this
          G  D
I did it my way

[Second Part]

    D                F#m/C#
Regrets, I've had a few
           Am               B7
But then again, too few to mention
   Em                D4
I did what I had to do
              A7             D
And saw it through without exemption

    D     D7M               D7
I planned     each charted course
               G             Gm
Each careful step along the byway
     D                     A7
And more, much more than this
A7        G  D
I did it my way

[Chorus 1]

                D     D7M         
Yes there were times,     I'm sure
       D7
 you knew
           G
When I bit off more than I could 
chew
               Em                
But through it all when there was 
  A7
doubt
G          F#m            Bm
  I ate it up and spit it out
           Em                A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
            G  D
And did it my way

[Third Part]

      D                        
I've loved, I've laughed and 
F#m/C#
cried
             Am              
I've had my fill, my share of 
  B7
loosing
     Em              D4
And now as tears subside
          A7       Gm  D
I find it all so amu__sing

     D   D7M             D7
To think     I did all that
           G              Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way
     D/A            A7
Oh, no, oh, no not me
          G  D
I did it my way

[Chorus 2]

      A7       D   D7M           
For what is a man,     what has 
   D7
he got
           G
If not himself, then he has naught
             Em              A7
To say the things, he truly feels
G              F#m          
  And not the words of one who 
     Bm
kneels
             Em                A7
The record shows, I took the blows
            G  D
And did it my way

( D  D7M  Am7  D7 )
( G  Gm  D  F#m/C#  Bm7 )

[Outro]

 A           G  D
Yes, it was my way
