My Way

Intro: C    

       C	   Em	    
And now the end is near,     
	 Gm	        A7    
and so I face the final curtain.    
   Dm		       Dm7	    
My friends, I'll say it clear,     
	      G7	         C    
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.    

      C		         C7    
I've lived a life that's full,	    
	   F 		  Fm    
I traveled each	and every highway,    
    C	       G                        F   C    
And more, much more than this, I did it	my way    

  C	            Em    
Regrets, I've had a few,	     
          Gm               A7    
but then again, too few to mention.    
  Dm		   Dm7    
I did what I had to do    
           G7               C    
and saw it thru without exemption.	    

  C		         C7    
I planned each chartered course,     
               F             Fm    
each carefull step along the by way.    
    C	        G	                  F   C    
And more,  much more than this, I did it  my way

               C 	            C7    
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,    
	   F                      Fm    
when I bit off  more than I could chew,    
            Dm7			G    
But thru it all, when there was doubt,     
         Em              Am    
I ate it up, and spit it out.    
	    Dm7              G		      F   C    
I faced it  all, and I stood tall and did it my way.    

      C			      Em	    
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,    
            Gm                A7    
I've had my fill, my share of losing,    
    Dm	              Dm7		    
And now,  as tears subside,     
          G7      C    
I find it all so amusing    

   C   	           C7	           
To think I did all that,     
	   F		  Fm    
and may I say,	not in a shy way,    
   C		G		  F   C    
Oh no, 	oh no, 	not me,	 I did it my way ?

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