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