Tom : D
[Intro] D
[Primeira Parte]
D F#m/C#
And now the end is near
Am6/C B4 B7
And so I face the final curtain
Em Em7/D
My friend, I'll say it clear
A7/C# D
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
D D7M D7(9)
I've lived a life that's full
G Gm6/Bb
I've travelled each and every highway
D/A A7
And more, much more than this
G6 D
I did it my way
[Segunda Parte]
D F#m/C#
Regrets, I've had a few
Am6/C B4 B7
But then again, too few to mention
Em Em7/D
I did what I had to do
A7/C# D
And saw it through without exemption
D D7M D7(9) D7(9-)
I planned each charted course
G
( G5+ G6 ) Gm6
Each careful step along the byway
D/A A7(4)
And more, much more than this
A7 G6 D
I did it my way
[Refrão 1]
D D7M D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
G
When I bit off more than I could chew
Em7 A7
But through it all when there was doubt
A/G F#m7 Bm7
I ate it up and spit it out
Em7 A7
I faced it all, and I stood tall
G6 D
And did it my way
[Terceira Parte]
D F#m/C#
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
Am6/C B4 B7
I've had my fill, my share of loosing
Em Em7/D
And now as tears subside
A7/C# Gm/D D
I find it all so amu____sing
D D7M D7(9) D7(9-)
To think I did all that
G
( G5+ G6 ) Gm6
And may I say, not in a shy way
D/A A7
Oh, no, oh, no not me
G6 D
I did it my way
[Refrão 2]
A7(4/9) D D7M D7 D7(9-)
For what is a man, what has he got
G G6 G7M
If not himself, then he has naught
G G/F# Em7 A7
To say the things, he truly feels
A/G F#m7 Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels
Em7 A7
The record shows, I took the blows
G6 D
And did it my way
( D D7M Am7 D7(9-) )
( G Gm6 D F#m/C# Bm7 )
[Final]
A G6 D
Yes, it was my way
