[Intro]
D
D Dmaj7/C# Am6/C B7
And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
Em Em7/D A7/C# Dsus4 D
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain
D Dmaj7 D7 D7sus2 G G/F# Gm6
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and every highway
D/A A7sus4 A7 G6 D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
D Dmaj7/C# Am6/C B7
Regrets? I've had a few...but then again, too few to mention
Em Em7/D A7/C# Dsus4 D
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption.
D Dmaj7 D7 D7sus2 G G/F# Gm6
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
D/A A7sus4 A7 G6 D
But more, much more than this, I did it my way.
A7 D Dmaj7 D7sus4 D7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
G G/F# G
When I bit off more than I could chew;
F#m7 Em7 A7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
A7/G F#m7 Bm Bm/A
I ate it up and spit it out.
Em7 A7 G6 D
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way.
D Dmaj7/C# Am6/C B7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried; I've had my fill, my share of losing.
Em Em7/D A7/C# Dsus4 D
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing.
D Dmaj7 D7 D7sus2 G G/F# Gm6
To think, I did all that... and may I say, not in a shy way,
D/A A7sus4 A7 G6 D
Oh no, oh no not me, I did it my way.
A7 D Dmaj7 D7sus4 D7
For what is a man? What has he got?
G G/F# G
If not himself, then he has naught.
F#m7 Em7 A7
To say the things he truly feels
A7/G F#m7 Bm Bm/A
And not the words of one who kneels
Em7 A7 G6 D
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.

Yes, it was my way!
