[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
D7 B7
And so I face the final curtain,
Em7 Em7/D
My friend. I'll say it clear,
Em7/C# A7 D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
D D7
I've lived a live that's full.
G Gm
I traveled each and every highway,
D A Asus4 G D
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
D7 B7
But then again, too few to mention.
Em7 Em7/D
I did what I had to do,
Em7/C# A7 D
And saw it thru without exemption.
D D7
I planned each charted course,
G Gm
Each careful step along the byway,
D A Asus4 G D
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
[Verse 3]
D D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
G Gsus4 G
When I bit off more than I could chew,
Em A7
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
F#m Bm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Em A
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
Asus4 G D
And did it m y way.
[Verse 4]
D Dmaj7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
D7 B7
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
Em7 Em7/D
And now, as tears subside,
Em7/C# A7 D
I find it all so amusing.
D D7
To think I did all that;
G Gm
And may I say - not in a shy way,
D A Asus4 G D
"No, oh no not me, I did it m y way".
[Verse 5]
D D7
For what is a man, what has he got?
G
If not himself, then he has naught.
Em7 A7
To say the things he truly feels;
F#m Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels.
Em7 A Asus4 G D
The record shows I took the blows - And did it m y way!
Starting at the A before my--way, play 002220 "and", 002230 "did", 002250 "it",
then pick the G as 3xx000 "m....y", before stepping back to D 2xxxxx 0xxxxx 000232 "way"
If you prefer, you can play 022030 and 022020 for Em7/D and Em7/C#.
Those Em sound slightly better on the 7th if you've got long fingers: Em 779917, Em7/D x5991x, Em7/C# x4991x
