My Way

D                     D7+    
And now the end is near    
                Am6         B7    
 And so I face      the final curtain.    
      Em        Em7    
My friends, I'll say it clear,    
                  A7                       D    
I'll state my case,   of which I'm certain.    
     D7                         D7+ D7    
I've lived      a life that's full,    
                  G                    Gm    
I've travelled each and every highway,    
       D                               A7       
And more, much more than this,    
          G Gm6     D    
I did it my            way.    


 D                         Dmaj7      
Regrets, I've had a few,    
                 Am6         B7    
But then again,  too few to mention.    
  Em           Em7    
I did   what I had to do    
                 A7                       D    
And saw it through  without  exception.    
  D7                                 D7+      D7    
I planned      each charted course,    
                     G                  Gm    
Each careful step along the byway,    
       D                               A7         
And more, much more than this,     
          G Gm6   D    
I did it my          way.    


       D                                                     Am7    
Yes there were times,     I'm sure you knew,    
               G           G/B            Gm6    
When I bit off more than I could chew,    
                     Em7                     A7      
But through it all when there was doubt    
          F#m7              Bm7     
I ate it up and spit it out.    
             Em7                A7    
I faced it all, and I stood tall    
               G Gm6  D    
And did it my        way.    


 D                         Dmaj7      
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,   
                 Am6         B7     
I've had my fails, my share of losing,   
  Em           Em7    
And now as tears subside    
                 A7                       D    
I find it all so confusing  
  D7                                 D7+      D7     
To think I did all that   
                     G                  Gm    
And, may I say, not in a shy way,   
       D                               A7          
Oh, no, oh no, not me:   
          G Gm6   D     
I did it my way.    

   
       D                                    Am7    
For what is a man, what has he got?   
               G           G/B            Gm6     
If not himself, then he has not    
                     Em7                     A7      
To say the things he truly feels,    
          F#m7              Bm7     
And not the words of one who kneels.   
             Em7                A7     
The record shows I took the blows,  
               G Gm6  D      
And did it my way.
