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 highway
               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
