Chords for My Way - Frank Sinatra. New York - 1974

_ _ _ _ We will now do the national anthem, but you needn't rise. _ _ _ _ _
_ And now the [Cm] end is near, _ _ [Abm] and so I take the final [Bb] curtain.
_ _ _ [Eb] My friend, [Ebm] _ I'll [Gb] make it clear, _ [Db] _
I'll state [Ab] my case, _ of which I'm certain.
_ _ _ I've lived [Db] a life [B] that's full, _ _ _ [Gb]
traveled each and [Eb] every highway. _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ [Ab] More than this, _ _ [Gb] I did it _ _ [Db] my way. _ _ _ _
Regrets, _ I've had a [Cm] few, _ _ but then [F] again, _ _ _ [Bb] too few to mention.
_ I [Ebm] did what I had [Gb] to do, _ I [Ab] saw it through _ _ without [Db] exemption. _ _
_ I planned _ each charted course, each careful [Gb] step _
[Ebm] _ [Bb] along the [Eb] byway. _ _
[Db] And more, _ much more than [Ab] this, I did [Gb] _ it _ [Db] my way.
_ _ Yes, there were times, _ I [Abm] guess you knew, _ when I [Gb] bit off more than I could chew.
_ [Ebm] _
And with it all, _ when [Ab] there was doubt, _ _ I [Fm] ate it up, _ then [Bbm] spit it out.
_ I grew _
[Ebm] tall, _ [Ab] through it all, _ and [Gb] did it my way.
[Db] _
_ _ _ I've _ _ _ laughed [Cm] and cried, _ I've had [Abm] my fill, my share [Bb] of losing. _ _
But [Ebm] now, as tears [Bbm] subside, _ _ I [Ab] find it all so _ [Db] amusing.
_ _ To think, _ I did [B] all that, _ [Db]
and may [Gb] I say, _ not in [Eb] a shy way.
[Gbm] _ _ [Db] No, no, _ _ [Ab] _ _ I did it [Gb] _
_ _ my [Db] way.
_ [Eb] For what is a [Db] man, _ [Fm] what has he [Abm] got? _
_ _ [Gb] If not himself, then he has not [Ebm] to say the things he [Ab] truly feels.
And [Fm] not the words of one who [Bbm] _
kneels.
The record's [Ebm] shown, _ [Ebm] I took [Ab] the blow, _ _ and did [Db] it my _ [Gb] way.
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ I thank the [Dm] camera. _
You've been marvelous.
[D] Happy to be alive.
