I'm going to sing a song that's one of my favorite songs, My Way.
And now the [Em] end is near, so [Eb] I face the [A] final curtain.
[Dm] My friend, [F] I'll say it clear, [G] state my case, of [C] which I'm certain.
[G] I've lived a life that's full, [F] I've traveled each and [Fm] every byway.
[C] Oh, and more, [G] much more than this, I [Dm] did it my [C]
way.
Regrets, [Em] I've had a few, [Gm] but then again, [E] too [A] few to mention.
[Dm] I did what [F] I had to do, [B] I saw it through [G] without [C]
exemption.
I planned each charted course, [F] each careful step [Bb] along the byway.
[C] Oh, and more, [G] much more than this, [F] I did it my [Dm] [C]
way.
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, [F] when I bit off more than I could chew.
[Dm] But through it all, when [G] there was doubt, [Em] I ate it up [Am] and spit it out.
I [Dm] faced it all, and [G] I stood tall, and [F] did it my way.
[C]
I've loved, [Em] I've laughed and cried, [E] I've had my fill, [A] my share of losing.
[Dm] And now, [F] tears subside, [G] I find it all so [C]
amusing.
To think, I did all that, and [F] may I say, [Bb] not in a shy [D] way.
[C] Oh, no, [G] no, not me, I [F] did it my [C]
way.
[G] For what [C] is a man, what has he got, if not [F] himself, then he has naught.
To [Dm] say the words, he'd [G] truly feel, [Em] and not the words, the [Am] one who knew.
The [Dm] record shows, I [G] took the blows, [Dm] and did it my [C] way.
The record [Dm]
shows, [G] I took the blows, and [F] did it my [C] way.
[Gb]
He had the Jordaneers and the Imperials.
Yeah, right.
You know, he did How Great Thou Art.
How Great Thou Art [N] album, yeah.
And you know, he never heard How Great Thou Art.
Ray Walker, our bass singer, Ray said, well, I think I've got a book out in the car, go get it.
You know, he could listen to anything once or twice and get it.
Well, we sing it in church, and it's not like that at all.
You know, his version is different.
I think his version is like we sang it.
We have been [C] singing it on the Grand Ole [Dm] Opry, and we sang it to him in the studio.
Yeah, and then we did it as a choir behind him [G] on that How Great Thou Art album, which was a [G] Grammy-a-winning album.
Yeah.
[C] But it's one of the biggest numbers now in the [N] show.
