C Em
And now, the end is near;
A7 A
and so I face the final curtain.
Dm Dm7
My friend, I'll say it clear,
G7 C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
C C7
I've lived a life that s full,
F Fm
I've traveled each and every highway
C G7
And more, much more than this,
Dm C
I did it my way.
C Em
Regrets, I've had a few;
A7 A
but then again, too few to mention.
Dm Dm7
I did what I had to do,
G7 C
and saw it through without exemption.
C C7
I planned each charted course,
F Fm
each careful step along the byway
C G7
And more, much more than this,
Dm C
I did it my way.
C C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
F F7
when I bit off more than I could chew.
Dm7 G7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
E7 Am
I ate it up and spit it out.
Dm7 G7
I faced it all and I stood tall;
Dm C
and did it my way.
C Em
I’ve loved, I've laughed and cried,
A7 A
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
Dm Dm7
And now, as tears subside,
G7 C
I find it all so amusing.
C C7
To think I did all that;
F Fm
and may I say not in a shy way,
C G7
oh no, no not me,
Dm C
I did it my way.
C C7
For what is a man, what has he got?
F F7
If not himself, then he has naught.
Dm7 G7
To say the words he truly feels;
E7 Am
and not the words of one who kneels.
Dm7 G7
The record shows I took the blows,
Dm C
and did it my way.
