1. And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain.

   My friends, I'll say it clear. I'll state my case  
                  A        A                      A7
   of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full.

   I've travelled each and every highway. And more, much more than this, 
     D          A
   I did it my way. 


2. Regrets, I've had a few,   but then again, too few to mention. 
   I did what I had to do  and saw it through without exemption. 
   I planned each charted course. Each careful step along the byway, 
   And more, much more than this, I did it my way.

R. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, When I bit off 
                                       Hmi                    E
   more than I could chew, But through it all, when there was doubt,    
             Cismi          Fismi                  Hmi      E
   I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall    
              Hmi  A
   And did it my way.   


3. I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, 
   my share of losing. But 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. 


R. For what is a man, What has he got. If not himself, 
   then he has naught. 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.   
   Yes, it was my way
