Chords with lyrics
Intro: C majorC times
C majorC E minorEm Gm6Gm6 A7A7
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain
DmDm Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
C7C7 FF Fm6Fm6
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and ev'ry high way
C majorC G7G7 F6F6 C majorC
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
C majorC E minorEm Gm6Gm6 A7A7
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention
DmDm Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption
C7C7 FF Fm6Fm6
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the by way
C majorC G7G7 F6F6 C majorC
But more, much more than this, I did it my way
C majorC
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
C7C7 FF
When I bit off more than I could chew
Dm7Dm7 G7G7 E minor 7Em7
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out
A minorAm Dm7Dm7 G7G7 F6F6 C majorC
I faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my way
C majorC E minorEm Gm6Gm6 A7A7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill; my share of losing
DmDm Dm7Dm7 G7G7 C majorC
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
C7C7 FF Fm6Fm6
To think I did all that, and may I say not in a shy way
C majorC G7G7 F6F6 C majorC
"No, oh no not me, I did it my way"
C majorC C7C7 FF
For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught
Dm7Dm7 G7G7 E minor 7Em7
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels
A minorAm Dm7Dm7 G7G7 F6F6 C majorC
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
