And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
Em B Em A7 D
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
D D7M D7 G Gm
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway,
D Bm7 Em A7 G6 Gº D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
D F#m F#m7 B7
Regrets? I've had a few...but then again, too few to mention
Em B Em A7 D
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption.
D D7M D7 G Gm
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
D Bm7 Em A7 G6 Gº D
But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
A7 D D7M D7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
G
When I bit off more than I could chew
Em A7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
F#m Bm Bm7
I ate it up and spit it out.
Em7 A7 G6 Gº D A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way.
D F#m F#m7 B7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing.
Em B Em A7 D
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
D D7M D7 G Gm
To think, I did all that...and may I say, not in a shy way,
D Bm7 Em A7 G6 Gº D
Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way.
A7 D D7M D7
For what is a man? What has he got?
G
If not himself, then he has naught.
Em A7
To say the things he truly feels,
F#m Bm Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels
Em7 A7 G6 Gº D
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.
