--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | C Caug | C | [Verse 1]

    C              Em/B
And now the end is near

     Em7-5/Bb      | A7    G/B A7/C# |
So I face the final curtain

   Dm                  C#aug
My friend, I'll say it clear

              F/C   G7             C
I'll state my case ... of which I'm certain

     C                   C/Bb
I've lived a life that's full

              F              Fm
I've traveled each and every highway

    C/G                  G7
And more, much more than this

         F  C
I did it my way

[Verse 2]

  C                 Em/B
Regrets, I've had a few

          Em7-5/Bb        | A7    G/B A7/C# |
But then again, too few to mention

  Dm                C#aug
I did what I had to do

           F/C    G7/B    G7    C
And saw it through ... without exemption

  C                    C/Bb
I planned each charted course

             F              Fm
Each careful step along the byway

        C/G                  G7
Oh, and more, much more than this

         F  C
I did it my way

[Middle 8]

G    G/A   G/B  C                   C/Bb
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

           F
When I bit off more than I could chew

    C/E        Dm                 G
But through it all when there was doubt

         Em             Am
I ate it up and spit it out

           Dm              G7
I faced it all and I stood tall

           F  C
And did it my way

[Verse 3]

G      C                       Em/B
  I've loved, I've laughed and cried

            Em7-5/Bb          | A7    G/B A7/C# |
I've had my fails, my share of losing

    Dm              C#aug
And now as tears subside

          F/C G7/B G7 C
I find it all ... so amusing

   C               C/Bb
To think I did all that

          F             Fm
And may I say, not in a shy way

   C/G           G7
Oh no, oh no not me,

         F  C
I did it my way

[Middle 8]

    G    G/A G/B  C                C/Bb
For what is  a    man, what has he got

           F
If not himself, then he has naught

           Dm             G
To say the words he truly feels

            Em               Am
And not the words of one who kneels

           Dm               G7
The record shows I took the blows

           F [ C ]
And did it my way
