Intro:C C Em
And now, the end is near,
A#m A7
And so I face, the final curtain.
Dm
My friend, Iʼll say it clear,
G7 C
Iʼll state my case, of which Iʼm certain.
C C7
Iʼve lived, a life thatʼs full,
F Dm
Iʼve traveled each, and every highway.
C G7
And more, much more than this,
F C
I did it my way.
C Em
Regrets, Iʼve had a few,
A#m A7
But then again, too few to mention.
Dm
I did, what I had to do,
G7 C
And saw it through, without exemption.
C C7
I planned, each chartered course,
F Dm
Each careful step, along the byway.
C G7
And more, much more than this,
F C
I did it my way.
C C7
Yes, there were times, Iʼm sure you knew,
F
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
Dm G7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
Em Am
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Dm G7
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
F C
And did it my way.
C Em
Iʼve loved, Iʼve laughed and cried,
A#m A7
Iʼve had my fill, my share of losing.
Dm
And now, as tears subside,
G7 C
I find it all so amusing.
C C7
To think, I did all that,
F Dm
And may I say, not in a shy way.
C G7
Oh, no, oh, no not me,
F C
I did it my way.
C C7
For what is a man? What has he got?
F
If not himself, then he has naught.
Dm G7
To say the things, he truly feels,
Em Am
And not the words, of one who kneels.
Dm G7
The record shows, I took the blows,
F C
And did it my way.

Yes it was my way
