Verse

D Dmaj7/C# C6 B7And now, the end is near, And so I face the final curtain, Em Em7/D A7/C# A7 DMy friend. I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain. | D Dmaj7 | | D11 D7b9 | G EdimI've lived a life that's full. I traveled each and every highway, D/A A7 G/D DAnd more, much more than this, I did it my way.

Verse

D Dmaj7/C# C6 B7Regrets, I've had a few, But then again, too few to mention.

Hook

| D Dmaj7 | D7 G GYes there were times, I'm sure you knew, When I bit off more than I could chew, Em7 A7 F#m Bm7But thru it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up, and spit it out. Em A7 A7 DI faced it all, and I stood tall, And did it my way.

Em Em7/D A7/C# A7 DAnd now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. | D Dmaj7 | | D11 D7b9 | G EdimTo think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, D/A A7 G/D | D A13 |"No, oh no not me, I did it my way".

Hook

| D Dmaj7 | D7 G GFor what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. Em7 A7 F#m Bm7To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. Em A7 A7 | D A7 |The record shows I took the blows…… And did it my way!…
