Verse 1:
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
