Sex Pistols - My Way
To play this properly you’ll need to tune your guitar down about a ¼ to a ½ of a tone
i.e. somewhere between E and Eb.
[Intro]
Emaj7 Emaj7
[Verse 1]
Emaj7
And now, the end is near
E7 C#sus4 C#
And so I face the final curtain
F#m F#m7/E
You cunt, I’m not a queer
B E
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
E7 *
I’ve lived a life that’s full
Am6
On each and every highway
E B
And much, much more than this
F#m E
I did it, my way
[Break]
E5 E5 E5 E5
[Verse 2]
E5
Regrets, I’ve had a few
C#
But then again too few too mention
F#5
I did what I had to do
B E5
I saw through without exemption
I planned each charted course
A Am
Each careful step along the byway
E5 B
And more, much more than this
E5
I did it my way
[Verse 3]
E5
There were times, I’m sure you knew
A
When there was fuck, but fuck all else to do
F#5 B
But through it down, when there was doubt
G#5 C#
I shack it up or kicked it out
F#5 B
I face the wall and the wall
E5
And did it my way
[Verse 4]
E5
I’ve loved and been a snake
C#
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
F#5
And now, the tears subside
B E5
I find it all so amusing
To think, I killed a cat
A Am
And may I say – not in a gay way
E5 B
No, no oh no not me
E5
I did it my way
[Verse 5]
E5
For what is a brat, what has he got?
A
When he wears pants and he cannot
F#5 B
Say the things he truly feels
G#5 C#
But only the words, of one who kneels
F#5 B
The record shows, I shot the bloke
E5
And did it my way
[Outro]
E5 E5 E5 E5 x2
E5 E5 E5
