I wrote this next song back in the 60s, the man I wrote it for,
sang it with me on my CD, A Body of Work, one of the greatest highlights in my career.
He was a great friend, he was one of a kind, he was humanitarian.
And this song is his legacy.
[Db]
[Fm] [Gb]
[Ab] [Eb]
And now the [Gm] end is near, [G] so I face the [C] final curtain,
[Fm] and my friends [E] I'll say it clear, and [Ab] state my case, of [F] which I'm certain.
[Eb]
I [Bbm] lived a life that's full, [Eb] [Ab] I traveled each and [Abm] every highway,
and [Eb] more, much more [Fm] than this, [Bb] I did it [Abm] my [Eb] way.
Regrets, [Gm] I've had a few, [G] but then again, too [C] few to mention.
[Fm] And I did, did what [E] I had to do, [C] and [Ab] saw through, [Bb]
[F] without exception.
And I planned each [Bbm] charted course, [Eb] each [Ab] careful step, [Abm] along the byway,
[Eb] and more, much more [Bb] than this, I did it my [Eb] way.
[Bb] Yes, there [Eb] were times, I'm sure you knew, when [Ab] I bit off more than I could chew,
but [Fm] through it all, whenever there [Bb] was doubt, I [Gm] ate it up, and I [Cm] spit it out.
But I [Fm] faced it all, and I [Bb] stood tall, and I did [F] it, I did it [Eb] my way.
[Bb] For I [Eb] am man, what [Bb] has he got to say?
[Eb] If not [Ab] himself, then he has naught to say.
[Fm] The face he [Bb] truly feels, and [Gm] not the words of one [Cm] who kneels.
Now record [Fm] will show, he [Bb] took the blows, and he did [F] it, he did it [B] his way.
[Ab] [Gm] [G] [Ab]
I [Eb] had love, yes he loved.
I [Gm] laughed and cried, he laughed and cried.
I [G] had my fill, my [C] share of losing.
[Fm] And now, as all the tears [E] subside,
[Ab] he'd find this [Bb] all [F] [Eb] amusing.
To think, I did [Bbm] all of [Eb] that, and may [Ab] I say, not in [Abm] a shy way.
[Eb] Oh no, [Ab] oh no not he.
[Bb]
Yes, it was my [Cm] [Bbm] way.
[Ab] Yes, [Eb]
his way.

[Ab] Yes, [Eb]
his way.
