My way

C C/B

And now, the end is near,

Gm/A# A G/B A7

And so I face the final curtain.

Dm F/C

My friends, I'll say it clear

G7/B G C

I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

 

C Gm/A#

I've lived a life that's full -

F Fm/D

I've travelled each and every highway.

C G7

And more, much more than this,

Dm/F F

I did it my way.

 

C C/B

Regrets? I've had a few,

Gm/A# A G/B A7

But then again, too few to mention.

Dm F/C

I did what I had to do

G7/B G C

And saw it through without exemption.

 

C Gm/A#

I planned each charted course -

F Fm/D

Each careful step along the byway,

C G7

And more, much more than this,

Dm/F F

I did it my way.

 

C C/B

Yes, there were times,

Gm/A# A G/B A7

I'm sure you knew,

Dm F/C

When I bit off more

G7/B G C

than I could chew,

 

C Gm/A#

But through it all, when there was doubt,

F Fm/D

I ate it up and spit it out.

C G7

I faced it all and I stood tall

Dm/F F

And did it my way.

 

C C/B

I've loved, I've laughed and cried,

Gm/A# A G/B A7

I've had my fill - my share of losing.

Dm F/C

But now, as tears subside,

G7/B G C

I find it all so amusing.

 

C Gm/A#

To think I did all that,

F Fm/D

And may I say, not in a shy way -

C G7

Oh no. Oh no, not me.

Dm/F F

I did it my way.

 

C C/B

For what is a man?

Gm/A# A G/B A7

What has he got?

Dm F/C

If not himself

G7/B G C

Then he has naught.

 

C C/B

To say the things he truly feels

F Fm/D

And not the words of one who kneels.

C G7

The record shows I took the blows

Dm/F F

And did it my way.

Dm/F F

Yes, it was my way.
