My Way

	  		     
       D                     D7M   
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                         D7M     
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                         D7M     
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.
