Start Jamming...
[A#] [D]
And now the end is near, so I face the [B] final curtain.
[Em] My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state [A] my case, of which [D] I'm certain.
I've lived [Em] a life [D] that's full, [G] I've traveled each [D] and [Gm] every highway.
[D] More, [G] much [A] more than this, I did [D] it my way.
Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too [B] few to mention.
[Em] I did what I had to do, and [A] saw it through, [D] without exemption.
I planned each charted course, [G] each [D] careful step [Gm] along the byway.
[D] More, much [A] more than this, I did [D] it my way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, [G] when I bit off more than [Gm] I could chew.
[Em] But through it all, [A] when there was doubt, [F#] I ate it up and [Bm] spit it out.
I [Em] faced it all, [A] and I stood tall, and did [D] it my way.
I've loved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill, my [B] share of losing.
[Em] And now, as tears subside, I [A] find it all so [D] amusing, to think I did all that.
And [G] may I say, not [Gm] in a shy way, [D] oh no, oh [A] no, not me, I [D] did it my way.
What is man?
What has he got?
[G] If not himself, then [Gm] he has naught.
To [Em] say the things he [A] truly feels, [F#] and not the words of [Bm] one who kneels.
[Em] The record shows, I [A] took the blows, did it [D] my [F#] [D] way.
[N] Hope you enjoyed that song.
That's the key to the Easy Strummer program, is learning to do things your way.
I'll provide you with a way to play it, but again, you really want to strip that song down.
And in the case of my way, it leaves so much room for interpretation.
Sped up, slowed down, you know, whatever you really like.
And I think that with a collection like this, the Crooners and Casanovas collection,
you'll be able to really, really explode these options by learning a lot of various strange chords.
Some of them jazz, some of them not, but they're all relatively simple chords.
But the way they progress throughout the song just really brings this nice, intimate feel.
So with this Crooners and Casanova collection, I'd like you to consider all the songs that are listed,
and really reflect on them, and realize that you might know a lot more than you think you do about these songs.
As a matter of fact, with the example of my way, this will be the last song on the DVD.
Because I really want you to understand that this whole collection, all of the collections from the Easy Strummer series,
are meant to be done your way.
All I do is supply the template, you do the rest.
If you're an older person, and you're used to these songs, then you shouldn't have a lot of trouble.
If you're a younger person, and you're not familiar with a lot of these songs,
I think you'll find that you'll enjoy them tremendously.
It's even better that you can take these songs and play them for your parents.
You know, play them for your mom or dad, or grandmother or grandfather.
And I think they're going to really respect what you're trying to do in the world of music.
You don't necessarily have to play these songs live at gigs or anything like that.
But I think you'd be surprised at how much fun they would be, and how many people would actually know these songs.
So check out the Crooners and Casanovas collection, and be sure to let me know what you think [E] about it.
I think you're going to have a lot of fun with these songs.
Not all of them are going to be easy.
As a matter of fact, a lot of [C#] them are orchestral,
which means that you're going to have to actually strip them down.
And [F] I'll show you how to do it, but we'll strip them down, and we'll make them really simple,
or as easy as we can make [F#] it.
And make it straight chords, nothing crazy, a lot of pauses and stuff.
But that's part of the fun of it.
You'll really learn to advance with this collection.
As opposed to the other ones that are kind of straight forward, this one is going to give you a little bit of swing,
a little bit of [N] jazz, a little bit of blues, as you see with Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen and those guys.
They're considered our Casanovas.
Our Crooners, of course, even though Dean Martin never claimed himself to be a crooner,
everybody else did, so we just kind of go with it.
But I think you'll enjoy this collection, so give it a shot, see what you think,
and as always, 100% money back guarantee
