| And | now, the end is near |
| Cm6 | D7 | |
| And so I | face the final c | urtain. |
| Gm | Gm7 | |
| My f | riend, I'll say it cl | ear |
| C7 | F | |
| I'll state my | case of which I'm c | ertain. |
| F7 | |
| I've lived a life that's f | ull |
| Bb | Bbm | |
| I travelled | each and every h | ighway |
| F | C7 | |
| And m | ore, much more than th | is, |
| Gm | F | |
| I did it | my w | ay. |
| Regrets, I've had a few |
| But then again too few to mention. |
| I did what I had to do |
| And saw it through, without exemption. |
| I planned each charted course |
| Each careful step, along the byway |
| And more, much more than this, |
| I did it my way. |
| Cm7 | |
| Yes there were times, I'm sure you k | new, |
| Bb | |
| When I bit | off more than I could chew |
| Gm7 | C7 | |
| But through it | all, when there was | doubt |
| Am7 | Dm | |
| I ate it | up, and spit it o | ut, |
| Gm7 | C7 | |
| I faced it | all, And I stood t | all, |
| Gm | F | |
| And did it | my | way. |
| I've loved, I've laughed and cried |
| I've had my fill, my share of losing. |
| And now, as tears subside, |
| I find it all so amusing. |
| To think, I did all that, |
| And may I say, "not in a shy way", |
| Oh no, oh no not me, |
| I did it my way. |
| For what is a man, what has he got, |
| If not himself, then he has not, |
| To say the things, he truly feels, |
| And not the words of one who kneels. |
| The record shows, I took the blows, |
| And did my way. |
