My Way

     C               Em
And now, the end is near,
          Gm11           A7
And so I face the final curtain.
     Dm                   Dm7 
My friends, 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
         F11                   Fm11
I've travelled each and every highway.
     C                     G
And more, much more than this,
             F11  C  
I did it my way. 

    C                Em
Regrets? I've had a few,
           Gm11             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 -
               F11           Fm11
Each careful step along the byway,
     C                     G
And more, much more than this,
             F11   C  
I did it my way.
 
                 C                    C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
           F11                     Dm 
When I bit off more than I could chew,
               Dm7                  G 
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
         Em             Am
I ate it up and spit it out.
           Dm7              G 
I faced it all and I stood tall
               F11  C
And did it my way. 

      C                        Em
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
             Gm11               A7
I've had my fill - my share of losing. 
     Dm              Dm7 
But now as tears subside,
   G7              C
I find it all so amusing. 
                     C7
To think I did all that,
           F11               Fm11
And may I say, not in a shy way -
    C              G
Oh no. Oh no, not me. 
             F11   C  
I did it my way. 

      C                         C7
For what is a man? What has he got? 
           F11              Dm
If not himself then he has naught. 
             Dm7            G
To say the things he truly feels
             Em                Am
And not the words of one who kneels. 
             Dm7              G 
The record shows I took the blows
               F11   C
And did it my way. 
                F11   C
Yes, it was my way.
