C7M               Em7/B
And now the end is near
       Em7(5-)/Bb        A4     A7
And so I face the final curtain
     Dm                 Dm7M
My friend, I'll say it  clear
  Dm7   G7               C7M
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

    C7M                   Gm7   C7
I've lived a life that's full
          F            Fm
I've travelled each and every highway
   C7M     Am7               Dm7
And more,    much more than this
 G7          F6        C7M
I did it   my       way

  C7M               Em7/B
Re-grets, I've had a few
       Em7(5-)/Bb        A4     A7
But then again, too few to men-tion
     Dm                 Dm7M
I did what I had to do
   Dm7   G7               C7M
And saw it through  without  exemption

    C7M                   Gm7   C7
I planned each charted course
          F            Fm
Each careful step along the by way
   C7M     Am7               Dm7
And more, much more than this
 G7          F6        C7M         F7M/G
I did it my       way

[Estribillo]
                C7M                  Gm7  C7(9-)
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
            F7M                   F7M         F7M/E
When I bit off more than I could chew
                Dm7                 G7
But through it all when there was doubt
         Em7              Am7
I ate it up and spit it out
       Dm7                  G7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
           F6        C
And did it my       way

  C7M               Em7/B
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
       Em7(5-)/Bb        A4     A7
I've had my fails, my share of loosing
     Dm                 Dm7M
And now as tears subside
   Dm7   G7                C7M
I find it all so amusing
    C7M                   Gm7   C7
To think I did all that
          F            Fm
And may I say, not in a shy way
 C7M  Am7  Dm7

Oh, no, no not me
 G7          F6        C7M          F7M/G
I did it my       way

[Estribillo]

                C7M                  Gm7  C7(9-)
For what is a man, what has he got
            F7M                   F7M         F7M/E
If not himself, then he has naught
                Dm7                 G7
To say the things, he truly feels
         Em7              Am7
And not the words of one who kneels
       Dm7                  G7
The record shows, I took the blows
           F6        C    Dm7/G
And did it my   way
C    Dm7    G7    F6    C7M
    My  way
