C            Em
And now, the end is near
         Gm             A
And so I face the final curtain
        Dm
My friend, I'll say it clear
                 D  G7           C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

I've lived a life that's full
              F              Fm
I've traveled each and every highway
        C                G
And more, much more than this
         Dm   C
I did it my way


[Verse 2]
C                   Em
Regrets, I've had a few
                A
But then again, too few to mention
   Dm
I did what I had to do
              G7           C
And saw it through without exemption
                            C7
I planned each charted course
             F              Fm
Each careful step along the by-way
    C              G
And more, much more than this
         Dm     C
I did it my way


[Verse 3]
C
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
           F            Fm
When I bit off more than I could chew
    Dm                                 G
But through it all, when there was doubt
G7       Em                C
I ate it up and spit it out
           Dm              G7
I faced it all and I stood tall
     C      Dm    C
And did it my way


[Verse 4]
                             Gm
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
            Em                A
I've had my fill, my share of losing
    Dm
And now, as tears subside
       D  G7         C
I find it all, so amusing
               C7
To think I did all that
          F
And may I say, not in a shy way
   C              G
Oh no, oh no, not me
      C  Dm    C
I did it my way


[Verse 5]

For what is a man, what has he got?
       F                    Fm
If not himself, then he has naught
           Dm              G7
To say the things he truly feels
            Em               C
And not the words of one who kneels
           Dm                    G
The record shows that I took the blows
           Dm     C
And did it my way
