CG/B
And now the end is near
Gm/BbA7
And so I face the final curtain
DmDm7
My friend, I'll say it clear
G/BG7C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
CC/Bb
I've lived a life that's full
FFm
I traveled each and every highway
CG7FC
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
CG/B
Regrets, I've had a few
Gm/BbA7
But then again, too few to mention
DmDm7
I did what I had to do
G/BG7C
And saw it through without exemption
CC/Bb
I planned each charted course
FFm
Each carefull step along the byway
CG7FC
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
CC7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
F
When I bit off more than I could chew
Dm7G
But through it all, when there was doubt
E7Am
I ate it up, and spit it out
Dm7G7FC
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way
CG/B
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Gm/BbA7A7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
DmDm7
And now, as tears subside
G7C
I find it all so amusing
CC/Bb
To think I did all that
FFm
And may I say, “Not in a shy way”
CG7FC
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way
CC7
For what is a man, what has he got
F
If not himself, then he has naught
Dm7G
To say the things he truly feels
E7Am
And not the words of one who kneels
Dm7G7FC
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
Dm7G7FC
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
