MY WAY   (capo 2nd)

 

     C ~          C                     Em                 Em7               A       

1.        And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain,

           Dm                    Dm7                      G7                        C

    my friends, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

                                     C7                    F                       Dm

    I've lived a life that's full. I travelled each and every highway,

              C                                 G               Dm    C

    And more, much more than this, I did it  my   way.

 

            C                     Em                  Em7                     A       

2. Regrets, I've had 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.

                                              C7                                      F           Dm

    I planned each chartered course, each careful step along the byway,

              C                                 G              Dm    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                            G7               Em                  Am

    But through it  all,  when there was doubt, I ate it  up, and spit it out.

                  Dm                   G7                  Dm    C

    I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it  my   way.

 

            C                                   Em                     Em7                    A     

3. 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 it all so amusing.

                               C7                     F                 Dm

    To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way.

          C                     G               Dm   C

    Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it  my  way".

 

                           C                         C7                    F                         

    For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught.

                      Dm7                 G7                       Em                         Am

    To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.

                        Dm                      G7                      F     C

    The record shows I took the blows - and did it my way!

    C – C7 - F – Dm - C       G         Dm     C

                                            I did it  my   way!          (Frank Sinatra)
