	        Intro: C   

       C                     Em               Gm6            A7  
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain 
     Dm                  Dm7                    G7                           C 
My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain  
     C7                                           F                           Fm6  
I've lived a life that's full, I've traveled each and ev'ry highway 
       C                        G7                    F6   C   
And more, much more than this, I did it my way 
     C                    Em              Gm6                   A7  
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention 
  Dm                 Dm7                   G7                        C  
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without exemption 
  C7                                                      F                       Fm6  
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the by way  
       C                        G7                   F6  C  
But more, much more than this, I did it my way 
                        C                                    
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew   
C7                         F  
When I bit off more than I could chew  
                    Dm7                       G7                          Em7 
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out 
             Am                Dm7      G7    F6  C  
I faced it all and I stood tall, and did it my way 
          C                            Em                  Gm6                     A7  
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my share of losing 
       Dm                  Dm7               G7             C  
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing 
       C7                                     F                      Fm6  
To think I did all that, and may I say not in a shy way  
         C           G7             F6  C 
'No, oh no not me, I did it my way' 
                         C                        C7                        F 
For what is a man, what has he got, if not himself, then he has naught 
                 Dm7               G7                        Em7 
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels  
                   Am                   Dm7            G7  F6   C 
The record shows I took the blows,  and did it my way
