Elvis Aaron Presley nació el 8 de enero de 1935, en East Tupelo, Mississipi. Como hijo gemelo sobreviviente de Vernon y Gladys Smith Presley, quienes trabajaban en una compañía de pinturas y en un hospital como enfermera, respectivamente, el jovencito de ojos melancólicos vivió una vida de apego a su madre, particularmente tras el cambio de residencia familiar a la ciudad de Memphis, Tennesee, donde a partir de sus trece años empezó a desarrollar un interés por el blues.

My way And [C]now, the end is [Em]near, and so I [Em7]face the final [A]curtain, My [Dm]friends. I'll say it [Dm7]clear, I'll state my [G7]case of which I'm [C]certain. I've [C7]lived a life that's full. I travelled [F]each and every [Dm]highway, And [C]more, much more than [G]this, I did it [Dm]my [C]way. Re[C]grets, I've had a [Em]few, but then a[Em7]gain, too few to [A]mention. I [Dm]did what I had to [Dm7]do, and saw it [G7]through without ex[C]emption. I [C7]planned each chartered course, each careful [F]step along the [Dm7]byway, And [C]more, much more than [G]this, I did it [Dm]my [C]way. Yes there were [C]times,I'm sure you [C7]knew,when I bit [F]off more than I could [Dm]chew, But through it [Dm7]all, when there was [G7]doubt, I ate it [Em7]up, and spit it [Am]out. I faced it [Dm7]all, and I stood [G7]tall, and did it [F]my [C]way. I've [C]loved, I've laughed and [Em]cried. I've had my [Em7]fill, my share of [A]losing. And [Dm]now, as tears sub[Dm7]side, I find it [G7]all so am[C]using. To [C7]think I did all that, and may I [F]say, not in a [Dm]shy way. Oh [C]no, oh no, not [G]me, I did it [Dm]my [C]way. For what is a [C]man, what has he [C7]got? If not him[F]self, then he has [Dm]naught. To say the [Dm7]things he truly [G7]feels, and not the [Em7]words of one who [Am]kneels. The record [Dm7]shows I took the [G7]blows - and did it [F]my [C]way!
