And now, the end is near
Gm6
A7
and so I face the final curtain.
Dm
Dm7
My friend, I’ll say it clear
G7
C
I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
C7
I’ve lived a life that’s full,
F
Fm
I travelled each and every highway
C
G7
And more, much more than this,
F6
C
I did it my way.
C
Em
Regrets, I’ve had a few,
Gm6
A7
but then again too few to mention.
Dm
Dm7
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 byway
C
G7
And more, much more than this,
F6
C
I did it my way.
C7
Yes there were times, I’m sure you knew,
F
When I bit off more than I could chew
Dm7
G7
But through it all, when there was doubt
Em7
Am
I ate it up, and spit it out,
Dm7
G7
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
F6
C
And did it my way.
C
Em
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried,
Gm6
A7
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing.
Dm
Dm7
And now, as tears subside,
G7
C
I find it all so a musing.
C7
F
To think, I did all that, and may I say,
Fm
“Not in a shy way”,
C
G7
Oh no no, oh no not me,
F6
C
I did it my way
C7
For what is a man, what has he got,
F
If not himself, then he has not,
Dm7
G7
To say the things, he truly feels,
Em7
Am
And not the words of one who kneels.
Dm7
G7
The record shows, I took the blows,
F6
C
And did it my way.
