And now the end is near
Bm6onD C#7
And so I face the final curtain
My fri end, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I've travelled each and every highw ay
EonB F#monB
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
Bm6onD C#7
But then again too few to mention
I di d what I had to do
And saw it through without exempt ion
I planned each chartered course
Each careful step along the by-wa y
EonB F#monB
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But throug h it all when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Bm6onD C#7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And no w, as tears subsi de
I find it all so amu- sing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy w ay
EonB F#monB
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got
If not himself, then he has naught
F#monA C#onG# F#m F#m7 B7 BonA
To say th e thi ngs he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record sho ws I took the blows
And did it my way
E G#monE♭/DonE E7-9/A Aaug/Am Am6/
Yes, it was my way
