Verse 1
And now, the end is near,
And so I face the final curtain,
My friend. I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full.
I traveled each and every highway,
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
Verse 2
Regrets, I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do,
And saw it thru without exemption.
I planned each charted course,
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.
Verse 3
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I could chew,
But thru it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up, and spit it out.
I faced it all, and I stood tall,
And did it m y way.
Verse 4
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And 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,
"No, oh no not me, I did it m y way".
Verse 5
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 m y way!
Author notes:
Starting at the A before my--way, play 002220 "and", 002230 "did", 002250 "it",
then pick the G as 3xx000 "m....y", before stepping back to D 2xxxxx 0xxxxx 000232 "way"
If you prefer, you can play 022030 and 022020 for Em7/D and Em7/C#.
Those Em sound slightly better on the 7th: Em 079987, Em7/D xx0987, Em7/C# 979787
