[INTRO] D D [Verse 1] D F#m And now, the end is near, Am B7 And so I face, the final curtain. Em My friend, I'll say it clear, A7 D I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. [Verse 2] D D7 I've lived, a life that's full, G Gm I've traveled each, and every highway. D A7 And more, much more than this, G D I did it my way. [Verse 3] D F#m Regrets, I've had a few, Am B7 But then again, too few to mention. Em I did, what I had to do, A7 D And saw it through, without exemption. [Verse 4] D D7 I planned, each chartered course, G Gm Each careful step, along the byway. D A7 And more, much more than this, G D I did it my way. [Verse 5] D D7 Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, G When I bit off, more than I could chew. Em A7 But through it all, when there was doubt, F#m7 Bm I ate it up, and spit it out. Em A7 I faced it all, and I stood tall, G D And did it my way. [Verse 6] D F#m I've loved, I've laughed and cried, Am B7 I've had my fill, my share of losing. Em And now, as tears subside, A7 D I find it all so amusing. [Verse 7] D D7 To think, I did all that, G Gm And may I say, not in a shy way. D A7 Oh, no, oh, no not me, G D I did it my way. [Verse 8] D D7 For what is a man? What has he got? G If not himself, then he has naught. Em A7 To say the things, he truly feels, F#m7 Bm And not the words, of one who kneels. Em A7 The record shows, I took the blows, N.C. G D And did it my way. [INSTRUMENTAL] D C B G Gm D D/C# Bm [OUTRO] A D Yes it was my way
