My Way

 
              Intro: C  times 
 
          C                       Em               Gm6              A7  
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain 
       Dm                     Dm7                    G7                                C 
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain  
        C7                                             F                                   Fm6  
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and ev'ry high way 
             C                        G7                      F6  C   
And more, much more than this, I did it my way 
        C                     Em               Gm6                       A7  
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention 
     Dm                  Dm7                      G7                          C  
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption  
       C7                                                         F                       Fm6  
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the by way  
             C                         G7                   F6  C  
But more, much more than this, I did it my way 
                               C                                    
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew   
C7                            F  
When I bit off more than I could chew  
                       Dm7                           G7                          Em7 
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out  
                Am                Dm7        G7    F6  C  
I faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my way  
             C                               Em                      Gm6                        A7  
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill; my share of losing  
         Dm                 Dm7                 G7               C  
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing 
         C7                                          F                       Fm6  
To think I did all that, and may I say not in a shy way  
           C           G7                F6  C 
"No, oh no not me, I did it my way" 
                         C                        C7                        F 
For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught 
                   Dm7                G7                          Em7 
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels  
                      Am                     Dm7            G7    F6   C 
The record shows I took the blows,  and did it my way
