[Intro]
N.C
(Drum Roll)
[Verse 1]
F D
And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain,
Gm
My friend, I'll say it clear,
C F
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
Fm Bb Bbm
I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway,
F C Gm F
But more, much more than this, I did it my.... way.
[Verse 2]
F D
Regrets I have a few, but then again, too few to mention,
Gm
I did what I had to do,
C F
and saw it through' without exception,
Fm Bb Bbm
I planned each chartered course,Each careful step along the by-way.
F C Gm F
But more, much more than this, I did it my.... way.
[Verse 3]
F
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
Bb
When I bit off more than I could chew,
Gm C
But through' it all, when there was doubt,
A Dm
I shoot it up up, and spit it out.
Gm C Gm F
And faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my.... way.
[Verse 4]
F D
I've lIved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill,my share of losing
Gm
And now, as tears subside,
C F
I find it all.. so amusing.
Fm Bb Bbm
To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way
F C Gm F
Oh, no, oh no not me, I did it my.... way.
[Verse 5]
F
For what is a man, what has he got,
Bb
If not himself, then he has not
Gm C
To say the things he truly feels,
A Dm
And not the words of one who kneels,
Gm C Gm F
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my.... way
[Outro]
