My Way

[D]And now, the end[Dmaj7] is near,
And so I [D7]face the final[B7] curtain,
My f[Em7]riend. I'll say it [Em7/D]clear,
I'll stay my [Em7]case[C#] of w[A7]hich I'm [D]certain.
I've [D]lived a live that's [D7]full.
I traveled e[G]ach and every [Gm]highway,
And [D]more, much more than [A]this, I [Asus4]did it [Ebmaj7]m      [D]           [D]
………….y way.

Regr[D]ets, I've had a [Dmaj7]few,
But then [D7]again, too few to [B7]mention.
I [Em7]did what I had to [Em7/D]do,
And saw it [Em7]thru[C#] with[A7]out ex[D]emption.
I [D]planned each charted [D7]course,
Each careful [G]step along the [Gm]byway,
And [D]more, much more than [A]this, I [Asus4]did it [Ebmaj7]m___...[D]y way[D].

Yes there were [D]times, I'm sure you [D7]knew,
When I bit [G]off more than I could [Gsus4]chew, [G]
But thru it [Em]all, when there w[A7]as doubt,
I ate it [F#]up, and spit it o[Bm7]ut.
I faced it [Em]all, and I stood [A]tall,
And [Asus4]did it [Ebmaj7]m___...[D]y way[D].

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".

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!
