[Verse 1]

    C               G6/B
And now, the end is near,
         Gm6/Bb            A7
And so I face the final curtain,
   Dm                  Dm7/C
My friend. I'll say it clear,
              Dm7/B G7          C
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
     C    Cmaj7          C7
I've lived a life that's full.
            F             Fm
I traveled each and every highway,
    C                    Gsus4 G        F  C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.


[Verse 2]

  C                 G6/B
Regrets, I've had a few,
         Gm6/Bb            A7
But then again, too few to mention.
  Dm                Dm7/C
I did what I had to do,
           Dm7/B G7       C
And saw it thru without exemption.
     C  Cmaj7          C7
I planned each charted course,
             F              Fm
Each careful step along the byway,
    C                    Gsus4 G        F  C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way


[Chorus]

               C   Cmaj7           C7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
           F
When I bit off much more than I could chew,
            Dm                  G
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
         Em              Am
I ate it up, and spit it out.
           Dm               G
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
           F  C    Ab
And did it my way.


[Verse 3]

     Db                      Ab6/C
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
            Abm6/B            Bb
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
    Ebm              Ebm7/Db
And now, as tears subside,
          Ebm7/C Ab7 Db
I find it all so  amusing.
   Db  Dbmaj7      Db7
To think I did all that;
          Gb           Gbm
And may I say not in a shy way,
   Db           Ab           Gb Db
Oh no oh no not me, I did it my way


[Chorus 2]

              Db Dbmaj7        Db7
For what is a man, what has he got?
          Gb
If not himself, then he has naught.
           Ebm             Ab
To say the things he truly feels;
            Fm               Bbm
And not the words of one who kneels.
           Ebm              Ab               Gb Db
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way

Db7 Gb Gbm  Db Absus4 Ab

         Gbm Db
I did it my way
