And n ow the end is near
And so I face t he final curtain
My fri end, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of w hich I'm c ertain
I've l ived a life t hat's fu ll
I'v e travelled each and e very highw ay
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Regr ets, I've had a few
But then again to o few to mention
I di d what I had to do
And saw it through withou t exempt io n
I pl anned each c hartered cour se
F#7-9 B Baug G#monB BM7 G#m7-5
Eac h careful step along the by-wa y
And more , much more than this
I did it my way
Ye s, there were t imes, I'm su re you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But throug h it all when there was d oubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all
And I stood tall
And did it my w ay
I've l oved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And no w, as tears subsi de
I find it all so amu- s ing
To t hink I did all that
F#7-9 B Baug G#monB BM7 G#m7-5
And may I say, not in a shy w ay
Oh, no, no not me
I did it my way
C#7 F# B♭monC# C#m6onE EdimonF#
Fo r what is a m an, what h as he got
If not himself, then he has naught
G#monB E♭onB♭ G#m G#m7 C#7 C#onB
To say th e thi ngs he truly fe els
And not the words of one who kneels
The record sho ws I took the blows
And did it my w ay
F# B♭monF/EonF# F#7-9/B Baug/Bm Bm6/
Yes, it was my w ay
