And now, the end is near, 
         D7            B7 
And so I face the final curtain, 
    Em7                Em7/D 
My friend. I'll say it clear, 
             Em7/C#   A7       D 
I'll state my case of which I'm certain. 
     D                   D7 
I've lived a life that's full. 
            G             Gm 
I traveled each and every highway, 
    D                    A       Asus4   G    D 
And more, much more than this, I did it m      y way.

    D               Dmaj7 
Regrets, I've had a few, 
         D7                B7 
But then again, too few to mention. 
  Em7               Em7/D 
I did what I had to do, 
           Em7/C#   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 
And more, much more than this, I did it m      y way.

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

    D               Dmaj7 
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. 
         D7                B7 
I've had my fill; my share of losing. 
  Em7               Em7/D 
And now, as tears subside, 
           Em7/C#   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 
"No, oh no not me, I did it m   y way".
[Strophe]
               D               D7 
For what is a man, what has he got? 
              G 
If not himself, then he has naught. 
         Em7               A7 
To say the things he truly feels;   
           F#m                Bm7 
And not the words of one who kneels. 
           Em7               A         Asus4    G      D 
The record shows I took the blows - And did it m   y way!
