[F#] And now the end is here, so I've got to face [Em] her [D#] final curtain.
[G#m] My friends, [D#] I'll make it clear, [B] state my case, of [F#] which I'm certain.
I've lived many lives that have been full.
[B] I've traveled each and [Bm] every highway.
[F#] But more, [C#] much [D#] more than this, [C#] I [B] did it my way.
[F#] Yes, I've had a few, but then again, [D#] too few to mention.
[G#m] I did what I had to do, [F#] [B] saw [F#] it through [B] without [F#] exemption.
I've planned each charted course, [B] each careful footstep [Bm] along the valley.
[F#] But more, [C#] much more than this, I did it [B] my way.
[Bm]
[C#] Oh, there [F#] were times, I'm sure you knew, when I [B] did all much more than I could chew.
[G#m] I threw it all [C#] from there, was I'm feeling [A#] it, I'm [D#m] standing up, [G#m] [C#]
I did [B] it my way.
[C#] [F#] I've loved and cried, [G#m] I've had my fun, now as [G#] tears [B] subside, I find all in [F#] the stream of life so amusing.
You'd think I did all that, [B] and I say, [Bm] not in any shall I [F#] go.
[C#] I [B] did it my way.
[F#] What is man?
What have you got?
[B] If not yourself, then you have not.
[G#m] [D#m] [G#m] Say thanks, [C#] be rude if need be, [A#] I'm not worth [D#m] the burn for me.
[B] I've had lots of jokes, [C#] I've had fun with the laws, I did it my way.
