[Intro]dução: 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                    G             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  
                          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
