My Way

        C/                  Em/             Cmaj7/               A7/  
And now the end is near, and I face the final curtain.
      Dm/            Dm7/                     G7/                            C/
My friend I'll say it clear, I'll stay my case of which I'm certain.
            C/                   C7/                    F/                            Fm/
I've lived a life that's full, I traveled each and every highway.
           C/                             G7/           Dm7/     C/   
and more much more than this, I did it my way

C/                      Em/                     Cmaj7/              A7/
Regret I have 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,
C/                                C7/                F/                               Fm/
 I planned each chartered course, each careful step along the by way
                    C/                  G7/              Dm7/      C/ 
And more much more than this, I did it my way.

                          C/                  C7/                        F/                                 F/
Yet, there were time I'm sure you knew,  when I bit off more than I could chew
               Dm7/                        G/                Em7/                Am/
But through it all when there was doubt,  I ate it up and spit it out
            Dm7/                  G7/               Dm/         C/
I faced it all and I stood tall, And did it my way.

           C/                              Em/                      Cmaj7/                       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 if all so amusing
   C/                C7/                    F/                          Fm/
To think I did all that,    and may I say "not in a shy way',
                     C/                 G7/             Dm/       C/               
 Oh no, oh on not me,    I did it my way.

                              C/                      C7/                  F/                    F/            
For what is a man what has he got, If not himself then he has not,
                   Dm7/             G/                          Em7                    Am/
 To say the things he truly feels. And not the words of one who kneels,
Dm7/                                    G7/                            Dm/ C/
 the record shows I took the blows,... and did it my way.
