And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
But more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to [C7]mention
I did what I had to [C7]do, Isaw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along [Am]the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my [A]way
And yes, there were times, I'm sure you [A7knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was [Am7]doubt
I ate it up and [Bm]spit it out
I faced it all [Em]and [Bm]I stood tall [Em]and [Bm]did it my [A]way
I've loved, I've laughed and [Bm]cried
I've had my [A]fill, my [A]share of losing
But now, as tears subside, I find it all [Em]so amusing
To think I did all [Em]that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my [A]way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he tɾuly feels and [Bm]not the words of one who kneels
The ɾecord shows, I took the blows and [Bm]did it my [A]way
Yes, this was [Am7]my [A]way
