3 5 3 5 -4 5
And now, the end is near
3 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 -4 4
And so I face the final curtain
-3 -5 -5 -5 5 -5
My friend, I'll say it clear,
-3 -5 5 -5 -4 6 5-4 -5 5
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
4 6 6 6 -5 6
I've lived a life that's full
6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 6 -5 5 -5
I've traveled each and every highway
3 5 3 -5 5 -4
And more, much more than this,
-3 4 -4 -4 4
I did it my way
3 5 6 5 -4 5
Regrets, I’ve had a few
3 5 -4 5 5 5 -4 -4 4
But then again, too few to mention
-3 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5
I did what I had to do
-3 -5 5 -5 -4 6 5 -4 -5 5
And saw it through without exemption
4 6 6 6 -5 6
I planned each chartered course
-6 5 6 -5 -5 -5 5 6 -5
Each careful step along the byway,
3 5 5 -5 5 -4
But more, much more than this,
-3 4 -4 -4 4
I did it my way
5 -5 6 6 -7 6 -5 6
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
-5 6 -7 -7 7 -7 6 -6 -6
When I bit off more than I could chew
-6 -7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -7
But through it all, when there was doubt,
-7 7 -8 -8 8 -7 -8 7
I ate it up and spit it out
7 7 -7 7 7 -8 7 -7
I faced it all and I stood tall
-7 7 -8 -8 7
And did it my way.
3 5 3 5 -4 5
I’ve loved, I've laughed and cried
3 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 -4 4
I've had my fill, my share of losing
-3 -5 -3 -5 5 -5
And now, as tears subside,
-3 -5 5 -5 6 -4 -5 5
I find it all so amusing
4 6 6 6 -5 6 -6 5 6 -5
To think I did all that, and may I say
-5 -5 5 6 -5
Not in a shy way
6 5 3 -5 5 -4 -3 4 -4 -4 4
No, no, oh no not me, I did it my way
4 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5 6
For what is a man, what has he got?
-5 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -6
If not himself, then he has naught
-6 -7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -7
To say the things he truly feels
-7 7 -8 -8 8 -7 -8 -8
And not the words of one who kneels.
7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7
The record shows I took the blows
-7 -7 7 -8 7
And did it my way!
-3 4 -4 -4 4
I did it my way
