My Way

Chords

Standard

D               F#m
And now, the end is near;
         Am6            B7
And so I face the final curtain.
   Em                 Em7
My friend, Ill say it clear,
              A                  D
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
                         
I've lived a life that's full.
              G             Gm
I've traveled each and every highway;
    D                    A
And more, much more than this,
         Em D
I did it my way.

  D                 F#m
Regrets, I've had a few;
          Am6              B7
But then again, too few to mention.
  Em                Em7
I did what I had to do
           A                 D
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
             G             Gm
Each careful step along the byway,
    D                    A
But more, much more than this,
         Em D
I did it my way.

                                    Am
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
           G
When I bit off more than I could chew.
               Em7                 A
But through it all, when there was doubt,
         F#m             Bm
I ate it up and spit it out.
           Em7             A
I faced it all and I stood tall;
           Em D
And did it my 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 my 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 my way!
