[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
