My Way

Key: C

Introduction:

             C  
             C                                         Em                              Gm6                              A7  
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
          Dm                                                 Dm7                                            G7                                                         C  
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
                  C7                                                                                         F                                                         Fm6  
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and ev'ry high way
                C                                      G7                                            F6    C  
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
          C                                         Em                         Gm6                                            A7  
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention
          Dm                                 Dm7                                            G7                                      C  
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption
             C7                                                                                            F                                      Fm6  
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the by way
                  C                                      G7                                         F6  C  
But more, much more than this, I did it my way
                                                  C  
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
C7                                                 F  
When I bit off more than I could chew
                                        Dm7                                                 G7                                                 Em7  
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out
                                Am                              Dm7                      G7         F6    C  
I faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my way
                        C                                                    Em                                            Gm6                                                 A7  
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill  my share of losing
             Dm                              Dm7                                      G7                            C  
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
                C7                                                                              F                                      Fm6  
To think I did all that, and may I say not in a shy way
                  C                 G7                                 F6  C  
"No, oh no not me, I did it my way"
                                        C                                      C7                                                 F  
For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught
                                Dm7                                 G7                                              Em7  
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels
                                  Am                                      Dm7                      G7         F6    C  
The record shows I took the blows,    and did it my way
