my way

Tom : C
[Intro] C
C G/B
And now the end is near
Gm/Bb A7(4) A7
And so I face the final curtain
Dm Dm7
My friend, I'll say it clear
G/B G7 C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
C C/Bb
I've lived a life that's full
F Fm
I traveled each and every highway
C G7 F C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
C G/B
Regrets, I've had a few
Gm/Bb A7(4) A7
But then again, too few to mention
Dm Dm7
I did what I had to do
G/B G7 C
And saw it through without exemption
C C/Bb
I planned each charted course
F Fm
Each carefull step along the byway
C G7 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
When I bit off more than I could chew
Dm7 G
But through it all, when there was doubt
E7(4) Am
I ate it up, and spit it out
Dm7 G7 F C
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way
C G/B
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Gm/Bb A7(4) 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 C/Bb
To think I did all that
F Fm
And may I say, “Not in a shy way”
C G7 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 naught
Dm7 G
To say the words he truly feels
E7(4) Am
And not the words of one who kneels
Dm7 G7 F C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
Dm7 G7 F C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
