                                    PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHORDS STRUCTUD 

        

[Verse 1]
D/F#             F#m/A
And now, the end is near
       Am6               B7
And so I face, the final curtain
      Em                   Em7
My friend, I'll say it clear
              A7             D/F# 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain


[Verse 2]
D/A                  D7
I've lived, a life that’s full
G                       Gm7
I've traveled each, and every highway
      D/A      A7
But more, much more than this
         G/B  D/F# 
I did it my way


[Verse 3]
D/F#             F#m/A
Regrets, I've had a few
         Am6               B7
But then again, too few to mention
Em                Em7
I did, what I had to do
        A7                  D/F# 
And saw it through, without exemption


[Verse 4]
D/A                     D7
I planned, each chartered course
             G               Gm7
Each careful step, along the byway
D/A                 A7
But more, much more than this
         G/B  D/F# 
I did it my way


[Verse 5]
D/F#                            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/A              Bm
I ate it up, and spit it out
        Em                  A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
         G/B  D/F# 
And did it my way


[Verse 6]
D/F#                     F#m/A
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
         Am6               B7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
    Em         Em7
And now, as tears subside
       A7       D/F# 
I find it all so amusing


[Verse 7]
D/A             D7
To think, I did all that
       G              Gm7
And may I say, not in a shy way
      D/F#       A7
Oh no, Oh no, not me
         G/B  D/F#  
I did it my way


[Verse 8]
D/F#                        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/A         Bm
And not the words, of one who kneels
       Em             A7
The record shows, I took the blows
         G/B  D/F#  
And did it my way
