| Bb | Dm | | And | now, the end is | near |
|
| Fm6 | G7 | | and so I | face the final | curtain. |
|
| Cm | Cm7 | | My | friend, I'll say it | clear |
|
| F7 | Bb | | I'll state my case | of which I'm | certain. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | I've lived a life that's | full, I travelled | each and every | highway |
|
| Bb | F7 | Eb6 | Bb | | And | more, much more than | this, I did it | my | way. |
|
|
| Bb | Dm | | Re | grets, I've had a | few, |
|
| Fm6 | G7 | | but then a | gain too few to | mention. |
|
| Cm | Cm7 | | I | did what I had to | do |
|
| F7 | Bb | | and saw it through, | without ex | emption. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | I planned each charted | course each careful | step, along the | byway |
|
| Bb | F7 | Eb6 | Bb | | And | more, much more than | this, I did it | my | way. |
|
|
| | | Bb7 | | | Yes there were times, I'm sure you | knew, |
|
| | | Eb | | | When I bit | off more than I could chew |
|
| | | Cm7 | F7 | | | But through it | all, when there was | doubt |
|
| | | Dm7 | Gm | | | I ate it | up, and spit it | out, |
|
| | | Cm7 | F7 | | | I faced it | all, and I stood | tall, |
|
| | | Eb6 | Bb | | | And did it | my | way. |
|
|
| Bb | Dm | | I've | loved, I've laughed and | cried, |
|
| Fm6 | G7 | | I've had my | fill, my share of | losing. |
|
| Cm | Cm7 | | And | now, as tears sub | side, |
|
| F7 | Bb | | I find it all | so a | musing. |
|
| Bb7 | Eb | Ebm | | To think, I did all | that, and may I | say, "Not in a | shy way", |
|
| Bb | F7 | Eb6 | Bb | | Oh no | no, oh no not | me, I did it | my | way |
|
|
| | | Bb7 | | | For what is a man, what has he | got, |
|
| | | Eb | | | If not him | self, then he has not, |
|
| | | Cm7 | F7 | | | To say the | things, he truly | feels, |
|
| | | Dm7 | Gm | | | And not the | words of one who | kneels. |
|
| | | Cm7 | F7 | | | The record | shows, I took the | blows, |
|
| | | Eb6 | Bb | | | And did it | my | way. |
