And now, the end is near,
         
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
            
B7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And so I face the final curtain,
    
Em7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                
Em7/D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
My friend. I'll say it clear,
             
Em7/C

I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
     
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                   
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I've lived a life that's full.
            
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
             
Gm
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I traveled each and every highway,

G

D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And more, much more than this, I did it m      y way.
 
 
[Verse 2]

Regrets, I've had a few,
         
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                
B7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
But then again, too few to mention.
  
Em7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
Em7/D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I did what I had to do,
           
Em7/C
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
#   
A7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
    
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And saw it thru without exemption.
  
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                    
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I planned each charted course,
             
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
              
Gm
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
Each careful step along the byway,
    
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                    
A
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
     
Asus4

G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
        
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And more, much more than this, I did it m      y way.
 
 
[Verse 3]
               
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                   
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
           
G

When I bit off more than I could chew,
            
Em
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
A7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
         
F#m
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
Bm7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I ate it up, and spit it out.
           
Em
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
A
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
   
Asus4
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
    
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
       
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And did it m      y way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
         
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                
B7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
  
Em7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
Em7/D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And now, as tears subside,
           
Em7/C
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
#   
A7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
    
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
I find it all so  amusing.
  
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                    
D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
To think I did all that;
             
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
              
Gm
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And may I say - not in a shy way,
    
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
   
A
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
       
Asus4
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
        
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
    
D
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
"No, oh no not me, I did it m   y way".
 
 
[Verse 5]
               
D

D7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
For what is a man, what has he got?
              
G
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
If not himself, then he has naught.
         
Em7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
A7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
To say the things he truly feels;
           
F#m
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
                
Bm7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
And not the words of one who kneels.
           
Em7
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >
 
               
A
< ? ? ? ? ? ? >

The record shows I took the blows - And did it m   y way!
