F Fmj7

And now the end is near

Cm D7

And so I face the final curtain

Gm Gm7

My friend, I'll say it clear

C7 F

I'll state my case of wich I'm certain

F7

I've lived a life that's full

Bb Bbm

I travelled each and every highway

F C7

And more, much more than this

Gm F

I did it my way

Regrets, I've had a few

But then again too few to mention

I did what I had to do

And say it through without exception

I planned each charted course

Each careful step along the byway

And more, much more than this

I did it my way

Cm7

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew

Bb

When I bit off more than I could chew

Gm7 C7

But through all, when there was doubt

Am7 Dm

I ate it up and spit it out

Gm7 C7

I faced it all and I stood tall

Gm F

And did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried

I've had my fill, my share of losing

And now, as tears subside

I find it all so amusing

To think I did all that

And may I say not 'in a shy way'

Oh no, oh no not me

I did it my way

For what is a man, what has he got

If not himself, than he has not

To say the things he truly feels

And not the words of one who kneels

The record shows

I took the blows

And did it my way !
