verse 1 
D/F#             F#m/A 
And now, the end is near 
       Am6               B7 
And so I face, the final curtain 
      Em                   Em7 
My friend, I'll say it clear 
              A7             D/F#  
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain 

verse 2 
D/A                  D7 
I've lived, a life that?s full 
G                       Gm 
I've traveled each, and every highway 
      D/A      A7 
But more, much more than this 
         G/B  D/F#  
I did it my way 

verse 3 
D/F#             F#m/A 
Regrets, I've had a few 
         Am6               B7 
But then again, too few to mention 
Em                Em7 
I did, what I had to do 
        A7                  D/F#  
And saw it through, without exemption 

verse 4 
D/A                     D7 
I planned, each chartered course 
             G               Gm 
Each careful step, along the byway 
D/A                 A7 
But more, much more than this 
         G/B  D/F#  
I did it my way 

Verse 5 
D/F#                            D7 
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew 
           G 
When I bit off, more than I could chew 
            Em                 A7 
But through it all, when there was doubt 
      F#m/A              Bm 
I ate it up, and spit it out 
        Em                  A7 
I faced it all, and I stood tall 
         G/B  D/F#  
And did it my way 

Verse 6 
D/F#                     F#m/A 
I've loved, I've laughed and cried 
         Am6               B7 
I've had my fill, my share of losing 
    Em         Em7 
And now, as tears subside 
       A7       D/F#  
I find it all so amusing 

Verse 7 
D/A             D7 
To think, I did all that 
       G              Gm 
And may I say, not in a shy way 
      D/F#       A7 
Oh no, Oh no, not me 
         G/B  D/F#   
I did it my way 

Verse 8 
D/F#                        D7 
For what is a man, what has he got? 
       G 
If not himself, then he has naught 
         Em             A7 
To say the things, he truly feels 
            F#m/A         Bm 
And not the words, of one who kneels 
       Em             A7 
The record shows, I took the blows 
         G/B  D/F#   
And did it my way
