[Verse 1]
DDmaj7
And now, the end is near,
D7B7
And so I face the final curtain,
Em7Em7/D
My friend. I'll say it clear,
Em7/C#A7D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
DD7
I've lived a life that's full.
GGm
I traveled each and every highway,
DAAsus4GD
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
[Verse 2]
DDmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
D7B7
But then again, too few to mention.
Em7Em7/D
I did what I had to do,
Em7/C#A7D
And saw it thru without exemption.
DD7
I planned each charted course,
GGm
Each careful step along the byway,
DAAsus4GD
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
[Verse 3]
DD7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
GGsus4G
When I bit off more than I could chew,
EmA7
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
F#mBm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
EmA
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
Asus4GD
And did it m y way.
[Verse 4]
DDmaj7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
D7B7
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
Em7Em7/D
And now, as tears subside,
Em7/C#A7D
I find it all so amusing.
DD7
To think I did all that;
GGm
And may I say - not in a shy way,
DAAsus4GD
"No, oh no not me, I did it m y way".
[Verse 5]
DD7
For what is a man, what has he got?
G
If not himself, then he has naught.
Em7A7
To say the things he truly feels;
F#mBm7
And not the words of one who kneels.
Em7AAsus4GD
The record shows I took the blows - And did it m y way!
