I'd do things my way 


                 E                    
But little they know

that it's so hard to find

to get a start in life´ game.  


                 E            
Then suddenly it happened, 
   D         A 
I lost every dime,  
                   E                    
But I'm richer by far

your youth when you're old 
                         E                             
Or a friend when you're lonely

or a love that's grown cold; 


                E                     
The wealthiest person

And my time has run out,

My friends and my loved ones

I'll leave, there's no doubt.  


                   E                       
But one thing for certain,

I'll leave this old world
