[Verse 1]
C G6/B
And now, the end is near,
Gm6/Bb A7
And so I face the final curtain,
Dm Dm7/C
My friend. I'll say it clear,
Dm7/B G7 C
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
C Cmaj7 C7
I've lived a life that's full.
F Fm
I traveled each and every highway,
C Gsus4 G F C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
[Verse 2]
C G6/B
Regrets, I've had a few,
Gm6/Bb A7
But then again, too few to mention.
Dm Dm7/C
I did what I had to do,
Dm7/B G7 C
And saw it thru without exemption.
C Cmaj7 C7
I planned each charted course,
F Fm
Each careful step along the byway,
C Gsus4 G F C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
F
When I bit off much more than I could chew,
Dm G
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
Em Am
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Dm G
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
F C Ab
And did it my way.
[Verse 3]
Db Ab6/C
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
Abm6/B Bb
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
Ebm Ebm7/Db
And now, as tears subside,
Ebm7/C Ab7 Db
I find it all so amusing.
Db Dbmaj7 Db7
To think I did all that;
Gb Gbm
And may I say not in a shy way,
Db Ab Gb Db
Oh no oh no not me, I did it my way
[Chorus 2]
Db Dbmaj7 Db7
For what is a man, what has he got?
Gb
If not himself, then he has naught.
Ebm Ab
To say the things he truly feels;
Fm Bbm
And not the words of one who kneels.
Ebm Ab Gb Db
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way
Db7 Gb Gbm Db Absus4 Ab
Gbm Db
I did it my way
