Key: C
Introduction:
D F#m
And now the end is near
Am B7
And so I face the final curtain
Em A7
My friend, I'll say it clear
Em A7 D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
D D7
I've lived a life that's full
D G Gm
I traveled each and every highway
D A
And more, much more than this
G D
I did it my way
D F#m
Regrets, I've had a few
Am B7
But then again, too few to mention
Em Em7
I did what I had to do
A7 D
And saw it through without exemption
D D7
I've planned each charted course
G Gm
Each careful step along the byway
D A
And more, much more than this
G D
I did it my way
D D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
G
When I bit off more than I could chew
Em7 A F#m
But through it all when there was doubt
Bm
I ate it up and spit it out
Em A
I faced it all and I stood tall
G D
And did it my way
D F#m
For what is a man, what has he got?
Am B7
If not himself, than he has naugth
E Em7
To say the things he truly feels
F#m Bm
And not the words of one who kneels
G A
The record shows, I took the blows
G D
And did it my way
My way
