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
[Refrão]
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
[Refrão]
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
