verse 1
D/F# F#m/A
And now, the end is near
Am6 B7
And so I face, the final curtain
Em Em7
My friend, I'll say it clear
A7 D/F#
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
verse 2
D/A D7
I've lived, a life that’s full
G Gm
I've traveled each, and every highway
D/A A7
But more, much more than this
G/B D/F#
I did it my way
verse 3
D/F# F#m/A
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/F#
And saw it through, without exemption
verse 4
D/A D7
I planned, each chartered course
G Gm
Each careful step, along the byway
D/A A7
But more, much more than this
G/B D/F#
I did it my way
Verse 5
D/F# D7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
G
When I bit off, more than I could chew
Em A7
But through it all, when there was doubt
F#m/A Bm
I ate it up, and spit it out
Em A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
G/B D/F#
And did it my way
Verse 6
D/F# F#m/A
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Am6 B7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
Em Em7
And now, as tears subside
A7 D/F#
I find it all so amusing
Verse 7
D/A D7
To think, I did all that
G Gm
And may I say, not in a shy way
D/F# A7
Oh no, Oh no, not me
G/B D/F#
I did it my way
Verse 8
D/F# D7
For what is a man, what has he got?
G
If not himself, then he has naught
Em A7
To say the things, he truly feels
F#m/A Bm
And not the words, of one who kneels
Em A7
The record shows, I took the blows
G/B D/F#
And did it my way
