[Verse I]
C Em
And now, the end is near,
Gm A7
And so I face, the curtain.
Dm
My friend, I'll say it clear,
G7 C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
[Verse II]
C C7
I've lived, a life thats full,
F Fm
I've traveled each, and every highway.
C G7
But more, much more than this,
F C
I did it my way.
[Verse III]
C Em
Regrets, I've had a few,
Gm A7
But then again, too few to mention.
Dm
I did, what I had to do,
G7 C
And saw it through, without exemption.
[Verse IV]
C C7
I planned, each chartered course,
F Fm
Each careful step, along the byway.
C G7
But more, much more than this,
F C
I did it my way.
[Verse V]
C C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
F
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
Dm G7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
Em Am
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Dm G7
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
F C
And did it my way.
[Verse VI]
C Em
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
Gm A7
I've had my fill, my share of losing.
Dm
And now, as tears subside,
G7 C
I find it all so amusing.
[Verse VII]
C C7
To think, I did all that,
F Fm
And may I say, not in a shy way.
C G7
Oh no, no not me,
F C
I did it my way.
[Verse VIII]
C C7
For what is a man, what has he got,
F
If not himself, then he has naught.
Dm G7
To say the things, he truely feels,
Em Am
And not the words, of one who kneels.
Dm G7
The record shows, I took the blows,
F C
And did it my way.
