My Way

     D             Fm
And now the end is near
          Am            Bm
And so I face the final curtain
      Em
My friend, I'll say it clear
               A                D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

      D                       D7
I've lived     a life that's full
               G               Gm
I've travelled each and every highway
     D                     A
And more, much more than this
          G   D
I did it my  way


    D                Fm
Regrets, I've had a few
           Am               B
But then again, too few to mention
   Em
I did what I had to do
              A              D
And saw it through without exemption

    D                      D7
I planned     each charted course
               G              Gm
Each careful step along the byway
     D                     A
And more, much more than this
          G   D
I did it my  way

                D                        D7
Yes there were times,     I'm sure you knew
           G
When I bit off more than I could chew
               Em                  A
But through it all when there was doubt
             Fm             Bm
    I ate it up and spit it out
           Em                A
I faced it all, and I stood tall
            G   D
And did it my  way


      D                        Fm
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
             Am                Bm
I've had my fill, my share of loosing
     Em
And now as tears subside
          A       D
I find it all so amu____sing

     D                   D7
To think     I did all that
           G              Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way
     D              A
Oh, no, oh, no not me
          G   D
I did it my  way


      A        D                    D7
For what is a man,     what has he got
           G
If not himself,    then he has naught
 G           Em              A
To say the things, he truly feels
                 Fm                Bm
    And not the words of one who kneels
             Em                A
The record shows, I took the blows
            G   D
And did it my  way
