[Gb] And now the end is near and so I've got to face [Eb] the final curtain, curtain.
[Abm] Friends, I'll say it clear and [Dbm] [Gbm] state my case [Gb] of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full, [B] I've traveled each [Bm] and every highway,
[Gb] and more, much more [B] than this, I did [Gb] my [B] way.
[Gb] [Ebm] [Db]
[Gb] Yes, regrets, I've had a few, but then again, [Eb] too few to mention.
[Abm] I did [B] what I had to do [Db] and saw it through [B] [Gb] without exemption.
I planned each chart course, [B] each careful footstep [Bm] along the byway, [Gb] yeah.
Oh, much [B] more than [Db] this, [B] I did my way.
[Gb] Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, [B] when I bid off much more than I could choose.
[Abm] I threw it all [Db] when there was doubt.
[Bb] I lived it all [Ebm] and smiled it all.
[Abm] I faced it all and I stood [Db] tall.
[B] [Abm] I [Gb] [Db]
[Gb] laughed and cried,
[Dbm] had my fill, [Eb] my share of losing.
[Abm] Now [B] tears [Abm] subside, [Db] I found it [Gb] all so amusing.
To think I'd get all that [B] and may I say, [Bm] not in a sly way.
[Gb] Oh, no, no, no, no, not [Db] me, [B] I did it my [B] way.
[Gb]
Oh, what is a man, what is he God?
[Ebm] If not [B] himself, then he has [Abm] naught to say the things [Db] he truly feels.
[Bb] Not the words [Ebm] of one whose [Abm] record shows,
[Db] the blows [Bb] and it is mine.
[Ebm]
[Abm] [Db] When there was doubt, [Bb] I laughed and I [Ebm] spat it out.
For I [Abm] had to face what was a woman, [Db] what did I have.
If [Bb] not myself, then [Ebm] I had naught, I had [Abm] to say the things that I [Db] truly feel.
[Bb] Not the [Ebm] words of one [Abm] whose [Db] record is [Bb] mine.
Oh, there's another [Ebm] way, can't you [Abm] see?
I said there's another [Db] way, can't you see?
[Bb] And it's my [Ebm] way, it's my [Abm] way, it's my [Db] way, no, not [Bb] me.
