As recorded by The Platters (From the 1969 Album SINGING THE GREAT HITS OUR WAY) [Intro] Dmaj7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 [Verse 1]
    D           F#m
And now the end is near

           Am                    B7
And so I'm gonna face that final curtain

      Em7                      C
Oh my friend, I'm gonna say it clear,

              Em   Am7          C
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

D        Am7                 D7
Oh, I've lived a life that's full,

            G                    Gm
I travelled each, each and every highway,

    D                    A7
And more, much more than this,

         G      D/F#  Em  D
I did it My Way.
[Verse 2]
D                 F#m
Regrets, I've had a few,

          Am           B7
But then again too few to mention

     Em                    C
Oh I did whatever I had to do

           Em      A7                   G        D
And saw it through without an ounce of exemption

  Am7                  D7
I planned each charted course

             G                    Gm
Each careful step as I went along the byway

        D                    A7
Oh, but more, much more than this,

         G      D/F#  Em7  D
I did it My Way.
[Chorus]
D
For what is a man, what has he got?

       G
If not himself, then he has feels.

           Em7             A7
To say the things he truly feels;

            F#m7             Bm
And not the words of one who kneels.

           Em7
The record shows

           A7
I took the blows -

             D
And I did it my way!
[Verse 3]
D                                F#m
Oh! I've loved, I've laughed and cried

            Am             B7
I've had my feel, my share of losing

    Em
And now

               C            Em       A7       D7
And now as tears subside, I find it all so amusing

   Am7                           D7
To think, what I think I did all that

        G                      Gm7
And may I say to you, not in a shy way

    D               A7
Oh, no, oh, no, not me

                G    D/F#
'Cause I did it my way

Em7 D
(My way)
[Chorus]
D                               D7
For what is a man, (what has he got?)

          G
If not himself, (then he has naught)

           Em7             A7
To say the things he truly feels

            F#m7             Bm
And not the words of one who kneels

               Em7             A7               G  D
Let the record show I took the blows and did it my way
[Outro]
Am7                       D7
To think, ohhho, to think I did all this

          G                       G7
And may I say, may I say not in a shy way

        D           A
Oh, oh, no, oh, no, not me

            D
I did it my way
