CEm7/B and now, the end is near;
Em7/BbA7A and so i face the final curtain.
DmDm/C my friend, ill say it clear,
G7/B /GCsus4C ill state my case, of which im certain.
CCmaj7C9 C7b9 ive lived a life thats full.
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6 ive traveled each and evry highway;
CCadd9G7sus4 G and more, much more than this,
F6C i did it my way.
CEm7/B regrets, ive had a few;
Em7/BbA7A but then again, too few to mention.
DmDm/C i did what i had to do
G7/B /GCsus4 C and saw it through without exemption.
CCmaj7C9 C7b9 i planned each charted course;
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6 each careful step along the byway,
CCadd9G7sus4 G but more, much more than this,
F6C i did it my way.
CCmaj7C9 C7b9 yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6 when i bit off more than i could chew.
Dm7 DmG7 G but through it all, when there was doubt,
Em7 EmAm7 Am i ate it up and spit it out.
DmG i faced it all and i stood tall;
F6 C and did it my way.
CEm7/B ive loved, ive laughed and cried
Em7/BbA7A ive had my fill; my share of losing.
DmDm/C and now, as tears subside,
G7/B /GCsus4 C i find it all so amusing.
C Cmaj7C9 C7b9 to think i did all that;
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6 and may i say not in a shy way,
C Cadd9G7sus4 G oh no, oh no not me,
F6C i did it my way.
C Cmaj7C9 C7b9 for what is a man, what has he got?
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6 if not himself, then he has naught.
Dm7 DmG7G to say the things he truly feels;
Em7 EmAm7 Am and not the words of one who kneels.
DmG the record shows i took the blows
F6C and did it my way!
