[Verse 1]
And [C]now, the end is [Em]near,
And so I [Gm]face, the final [A7]curtain.
My [Dm]friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my [G7]case, of which I'm [C]certain.

[Verse 2]
I've [C]lived, a life that's [C7]full,
I've traveled [F]each and every [Fm]highway.
And [C]more, much more than [G7]this,
I did it [F]my [C]way.

[Verse 3]
Reg[C]rets, I've had a [Em]few,
But then a[Gm]gain, too few to [A7]mention.
I [Dm]did, what I had to do,
And saw it [G7]through, without [C]exemption.

[Verse 4]
I [C]planned, each chartered [C7]course,
Each careful [F]step, along the [Fm]byway.
But [C]more, much more than [G7]this,
I did it [F]my [C]way.

[Verse 5]
Yes, there were [C]times, I'm sure you [C7]knew,
When I bit [F]off, more than I could chew.
But through it [Dm]all, when there was [G7]doubt,
I ate it [Em]up, and spit it [Am]out.
I faced it [Dm]all, and I stood [G7]tall,
And did it [F]my [C]way.

[Verse 6]
I've [C]loved, I've laughed and [Em]cried,
I've had my [Gm]fill, my share of [A7]losing.
And [Dm]now, as tears subside,
I find it [G7]all so a[C]musing.

[Verse 7]
To [C]think, I did all [C7]that,
And may I [F]say, not in a [Fm]shy way.
Oh [C]no, no not [G7]me,
I did it [F]my [C]way.

[Verse 8]
For what is a [C]man, what has he [C7]got,
If not him[F]self, then he has naught.
To say the [Dm]things, he truly [G7]feels,
And not the [Em]words, of one who [Am]kneels.
The record [Dm]shows, I took the [G7]blows,
And did it [F]my [C]way.
