My Way

D


[Verse 1]

D                       F#m
And now..... the end is near
         Am                  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
                              D7
I've lived..... a life that's full.....
              G                   Gm
I've traveled each..... and every highway.....
    D                       A7            G      D
And more.....much more than this I did it my.... way....


[Verse 2]

D                  F#m
Regrets I've had a few
         Am                  B7
But then again....too few to mention.....
  Em                Em7
I did what I had to do.....
           A7                   D
and saw it through..... without exemption
                            D7
I planned..... each charted course
             G              Gm
Each careful step along the by-way.....
    D                       A7             G     D
And more.....much more than this  I did it my... way....


[Chorus 1]

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....
           Em                   A7
I faced it all..... and I stood tall....
           G      D
And did it my.... way


[Verse 3]

D                               F#m
I've lived.... I've laughed and cried.....
            Am                  B7
I've had my fill....my share of losing......
    Em                Em7              A7          D
And now.... as tears subside 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             G      D
Oh no.... oh no not me....I did it my.... way....


[Chorus 2]

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