**Chords:**
    C      Am      Dm      F
    G      C      E7      Am
    Dm     F      G      C

    C                Am
    And now, the end is near
        Dm                 F
    And so I face the final curtain
        G                     C
    My friend, I'll say it clear
          E7               Am
    I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
      Dm              F
    I've lived a life that's full
          G                C
    I traveled each and every highway
       E7                   Am
    And more, much more than this
          Dm       F         G      C
    I did it my way

    C                   Am
    Regrets, I've had a few
       Dm                F
    But then again, too few to mention
          G                 C
    I did what I had to do
          E7               Am
    And saw it through without exemption
        Dm                  F
    I planned each charted course
       G                  C
    Each careful step along the byway
       E7                   Am
    But more, much more than this
          Dm       F         G      C
    I did it my way

    C              Am
    Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
        Dm                   F
    When I bit off more than I could chew
         G                   C
    But through it all, when there was doubt
         E7                  Am
    I ate it up and spit it out
        Dm                 F
    I faced it all and I stood tall
      G      C
    And did it my way

    C              Am
    I've loved, I've laughed and cried
        Dm               F
    I've had my fill, my share of losing
          G                C
    And now, as tears subside
        E7              Am
    I find it all so confusing
        Dm                  F
    To think I did all that
       G                   C
    And may I say, not in a shy way
       E7                   Am
    Oh, no, oh, no, not me
          Dm       F         G      C
    I did it my way

    C               Am
    For what is a man, what has he got?
         Dm               F
    If not himself, then he has naught
        G                   C
    To say the things he truly feels
         E7                  Am
    And not the words of one who kneels
        Dm              F
    The record shows I took the blows
      G      C
    And did it my way
