[Intro]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Dmaj7</b>
[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Dmaj7</b>
And now, the end is near,
<b class="chord">D7</b> <b class="chord">B7</b>
And so I face the final curtain,
<b class="chord">Em7</b> <b class="chord">Em7/D</b>
My friend. I'll say it clear,
<b class="chord">Em7/C#</b> <b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
I've lived a life that's full.
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
I traveled each and every highway,
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">Asus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
[Verse 2]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Dmaj7</b>
Regrets, I've had a few,
<b class="chord">D7</b> <b class="chord">B7</b>
But then again, too few to mention.
<b class="chord">Em7</b> <b class="chord">Em7/D</b>
I did what I had to do,
<b class="chord">Em7/C#</b> <b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
And saw it thru without exemption.
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
I planned each charted course,
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
Each careful step along the byway,
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">Asus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
[Verse 3]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Gsus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b>
When I bit off more than I could chew,
<b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">A7</b>
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
<b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">Bm7</b>
I ate it up, and spit it out.
<b class="chord">Em</b> <b class="chord">A</b>
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
<b class="chord">Asus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
And did it my way.
[Verse 4]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">Dmaj7</b>
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
<b class="chord">D7</b> <b class="chord">B7</b>
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
<b class="chord">Em7</b> <b class="chord">Em7/D</b>
And now, as tears subside,
<b class="chord">Em7/C#</b> <b class="chord">A7</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
I find it all so amusing.
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
To think I did all that;
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">Gm</b>
And may I say - not in a shy way,
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">Asus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
"No, oh no not me, I did it my way".
[Verse 5]
<b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
For what is a man, what has he got?
<b class="chord">G</b>
If not himself, then he has naught.
<b class="chord">Em7</b> <b class="chord">A7</b>
To say the things he truly feels;
<b class="chord">F#m</b> <b class="chord">Bm7</b>
And not the words of one who kneels.
<b class="chord">Em7</b> <b class="chord">A</b> <b class="chord">Asus4</b> <b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
