A      E     B         E
In my fashion, I have been a good man
A       E        B        E
I have loved, and I have lost
A     E   B         E
Ever after, I will be remembered
A      E     B        E
In my fashion, in my way

[Interlude]
E Esus4 B A B E

[Verse 1]
A           E         B        E
There have been times, I have seen the reaper
A       E        B            E
In the bad times, and in the good
A       E        B        E
I have bent down, I have touched the ground
A        E        B          E
Saying prayers and touching wood

[Interlude]
E Esus4 B A B E   x3

[Chorus]
A      E     B         E
In my fashion, I have been a father
A       E            B            E
I have loved and been loved in return
A        E    B         E
From the ashes, I have kept the home fires
A        E   B                  E
Burning after all was said and done

[Bridge]
E Esus4 B

     A      B       E
Now take a look at me
      E            Esus4    B
Do I look like the kind of guy,
                              A    B    E
the kinda fool who went to school
                        E Esus4 B
And had to stand on a stool
                                           A    B    E
Because he couldn't come t' terms with a slide rule
              E    Esus4 B
Take a look around again
           A         B           E
Is it any different now than it was then

[Interlude]
E Esus4 B A B E

[Chorus]
A      E     B         E
In my fashion, I have been a good man
A       E        B        E
I have loved, and I have lost
A     E   B         E
Ever after, I will be remembered
A      E     B        E
In my fashion, in my way
A     E   B         E
Ever after, I will be remembered
A      E     B        E
In my fashion, in my way
