    D               Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
         D7             B7
And so I face the final curtain,
   Em7                 Em7
My friend. Iʼll say it clear,
Em7           A   A7            D
Iʼll state my case of which Iʼm certain.
     D                   D7
Iʼve lived a live thatʼs full.
           G              Gm
I traveled each and every highway,
    D                    A     A7          D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

  D                 Dmaj7
Regrets, Iʼve had a few,
         D7                B7
But then again, too few to mention.
  Em7               Em7
I did what I had to do,
           Em7  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       A7        D
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

               D                   D7
Yes there were times, Iʼm sure you knew,
           G                     Gm
When I bit off more than I could chew,
            Em7                A7
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
         F#              Bm7
I ate it up, and spit it out.
           Em               A
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
       A7     D
And did it my way.

     D                       Dmaj7
Iʼve loved, Iʼve laughed and cried.
            D7                B7
Iʼve had my fill; my share of losing.
    Em7             Em7
And now, as tears subside,
     Em7  A   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         A        A7     D
"No, oh no not me, I did it my way".

D           D                  D7
For what is a man, what has he got?
         G                  Gm
If not himself, then he has naught.
           Em7             A
To say the things he truly feels;
            F#               Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels.
           Em7              A       A7            D
The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way!
