Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

D Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
F#m(b5) B7
And so I face the final curtain,
Em7 Em7/D
My friend. I'll say it clear,
A7 D
I'll state 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 G/D D
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.


[Verse 2]

D Dmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
F#m(b5) B7
But then again, too few to mention.
Em7 Em7/D
I did what I had to do,
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 G/D D
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.


[Verse 3]

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,
F# Bm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
Em A
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
Asus4 G/D D
And did it m y way.


[Verse 4]

D Dmaj7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
F#m(b5) B7
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
Em7 Em7/D
And now, as tears subside,
A7 D
I find it all so amusing.
D D7
To think I did all that;
G Gm
And may I say - not in a shy way,
D A Asus4 G/D D
'No, oh no not me, I did it m y way'.


[Verse 5]

D Dmaj7 D7
For what is a man, what has he got?
B7
If not himself, then he has naught.
Em7 Em7/D
To say the things he truly feels;
A7 D
And not the words of one who kneels.
Em7 A A7 D
The record shows I took the blows - And did it m y way!
