G

And so I face, the final curtain.
   
Dm
                 
Dm7
 
My   friend, I'll say it clear,
              
G
 7                
C
 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
      
C
                   
C7
 
I've lived, a life that's full,
              
F
               
Fm
 
I've traveled each, and every highway.
    
C
                    
G
 7
And more, much more than this,
         
F
  
C
 
I did it my way.

   
C
                
Em
 
Regrets, I've had a few,
         
G
 m               
A7
 
But then again, too few to mention.
  
Dm
             
Dm7
 
I did, what I had to do,
           
G
 7                
C
 
And saw it through, without exemption.

  
C
                         
C7
 
I planned, each chartered course,
             
F
               
Fm
 
Each careful step, along the byway.
    
C
                    
G
 7
And more, much more than this,
         
F
    
C
 
I did it   my way.

                   
C
                 
C7
 
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
       
F
 
When I bit off, more than I could chew.
               
Dm
                  
G
 7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
         
Em7
             
Am
 
I ate it up, and spit it out.
           
Dm
               
G
 7
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
           
F
  
C
 
And did it my way.

C
                            
Em
 
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
            
G
 m               
A7
 
I've had my fill, my share of    losing.
    
Dm
          
Dm7
 
And now, as tears subside,
          
G
 7     
C
 
I find it all so amusing.

C
                   
C7
 
To think, I did all that,
          
F
             
Fm
 
And may I say, not in a shy way.
    
C
          
G
 7
Oh, no, oh, no not me,
         
F
  
C
 
I did it my way.

              
C
                 
C7
 
For what is a man? What has he got?
          
F
 
If not himself, then he has naught.
           
Dm
               
G
 7
To say the things, he truly feels,
           
Em7
                 
Am
 
And not the words, of one who kneels.
           
Dm
                
G
 7
The record shows, I took the blows,
          
F
  
C
 
And did it my way.
