C Em
And now the end is near
Gm A7
And so I face the final curtain
Dm
My friend I'll say it clear
G7 C
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
C7
I've lived a life that's full
F Fm
I've traveled each and every highway
C G
And more much more than this
Dm C
I did it my way
[Verse 2]
C Em
Regrets I've had a few
Gm A7
But then again too few to mention
Dm
I did what I had to do
G7 C
And saw it through without exemption
C7
I planned each charted course
F Fm
Each careful step along the by-way
C G
And more much more than this
Dm C
I did it my way
[Verse 3]
C C7
Yes there were times I'm sure you knew
F Fm
When I bit off more than I could chew
Dm G
But through it all when there was doubt
Em C
I ate it up and spit it out
Dm G7
I faced it all and I stood tall
Dm C
And did it my way
[Verse 4]
Em
I've loved I've laughed and cried
Gm A7
I've had my fill my share of losing
Dm
And now as tears subside
G7 C
I find it all so amusing
C7
To think I did all that
F Fm
And may I say not in a shy way
C G
Oh no oh no not me
Dm C
I did it my way
[Verse 5]
C7
For what is a man what has he got
F Fm
If not himself then he has naught
Dm G7
To say the things he truly feels
Em C
And not the words of one who kneels
Dm G
The record shows that I took the blows
Dm C
And did it my way
