⠀ | F | | Am |
And now, the end is near,
⠀ | Cm | | D7 |
And so I face, the final curtain.
⠀ | Gm | | Gm7 |
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
⠀ | C7 | | F |
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.
⠀ | F | | F7 |
I’ve lived, a life that’s full,
⠀ | Bb | | Bbm |
I’ve traveled each, and every highway.
⠀ | F | | C7 |
And more, much more than this,
⠀ | Bb | | F |
I did it my way.
⠀ | F | | Am |
Regrets, I’ve had a few,
⠀ | Cm | | D7 |
But then again, too few to mention.
| Gm | | Gm7 |
I did, what I had to do,
⠀ | C7 | | F |
And saw it through, without exemption.
⠀ | F | | F7 |
I planned, each chartered course,
⠀ | Bb | | Bbm |
Each careful step, along the byway.
⠀ | F | | C7 |
And more, much more than this,
⠀ | Bb | | F |
I did it my way.
⠀ | F | | F7 |
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew,
⠀ | Bb | | Bb |
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
⠀ | Gm | | C7 |
But through it all, when there was doubt,
⠀ | Am | | Dm |
I ate it up, and spit it out.
⠀ | Gm | | C7 |
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
⠀ | Bb | | F |
And did it my way.
⠀ | F | | Am |
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried,
⠀ | Cm | | D7 |
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing.
⠀ | Gm | | Gm7 |
And now, as tears subside,
⠀ | C7 | | F |
I find it all so amusing.
⠀ | F | | F7 |
To think, I did all that,
⠀ | Bb | | Bbm |
And may I say, not in a shy way.
⠀ | F | | C7 |
Oh, no, oh, no not me,
⠀ | Bb | | F |
I did it my way.
⠀ | F | | F7 |
For what is a man? What has he got?
⠀ | Bb | | Bb |
If not himself, then he has naught.
⠀ | Gm | | C7 |
To say the things, he truly feels,
⠀ | Am | | Dm |
And not the words, of one who kneels.
⠀ | Gm | | C7 |
The record shows, I took the blows,
⠀ | Bb | | F |
And did it my way.
