Album: My Way

    D               Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
         D7            B7
And so I face the final curtain,
    Em7                Em7   
My friend. I'll say it clear,
             Em7      A7       D
I'll stay my case of which I'm certain.
     D                   D7
I've lived a live that's full.
            G             Gm
I traveled each and every highway,
    D                    A       Asus4  Ebmaj7      D
And more, much more than this, I did it myyyyyyy way.
 
 
    D               Dmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
         D7                B7
But then again, too few to mention.
  Em7               Em7  
I did what I had to do,
           Em7      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  Ebmaj7      D
And more, much more than this, I did it myyyyyyy way.
 
 
               D                   D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
           G                     Gsus4 G
When I bit off more than I could chew,
            Em               A7
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
         Gb               Bm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
           Em               A
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
    Asus4  Ebmaj7      D
And did it myyyyyyy way.
 
 
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so  amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
"No, oh no not me,
I did it myyyy way".
 
 
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it myyyy way!
