Tom: Em
D
[Verse 1]
D F#m
And now..... the end is near
Am B7
And so I face..... the final curtain
Em Em7
My friend..... I'll say it clear
A7 D
I'll state my case..... of which I'm certain
D7
I've lived..... a life that's full.....
G Gm
I've traveled each..... and every highway.....
D A7 G D
And more.....much more than this I did it my.... way....
[Verse 2]
D F#m
Regrets I've had a few
Am B7
But then again....too few to mention.....
Em Em7
I did what I had to do.....
A7 D
and saw it through..... without exemption
D7
I planned..... each charted course
G Gm
Each careful step along the by-way.....
D A7 G D
And more.....much more than this I did it my... way....
[Chorus 1]
D 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 Bm
I ate it up..... and spit it out....
Em A7
I faced it all..... and I stood tall....
G D
And did it my.... way
[Verse 3]
D F#m
I've lived.... I've laughed and cried.....
Am B7
I've had my fill....my share of losing......
Em Em7 A7 D
And now.... as tears subside I find it all... so.. amusing...
D7
To think I did all that
G Gm
And may I say.... not in a shy way....
D A7 G D
Oh no.... oh no not me....I did it my.... way....
[Chorus 2]
D 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 Bm
And not the words...... of one who kneels
Em A7
The record shows...... I took the blows.....
Gm D
And did it my..... way......
A7 Gm D
Yes it was my..... way......
