3    6    3   6  -5   6
And now, the end is near;
3    6 -5 6    -5  6 -5   -5  5*
And so I face the fi-nal cur-tain.
-3   -6     -3  -6   6   -6
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
-3     -6  6   -6   7    7    -5  -6   6
I’ll state my case, of which I’m cer-tain.

-6*    7  -6*  7    -7    7  
I’ve lived a life that’s full.
-7 6    7    -6   -6 -6  6   7    -6
I trav-eled each and ev-‘ry high-way;
-6   6     3    -6    6   -5
And more, much more than this,
-4 5  -5 -5  5
I did it my way.

3    6     3    6  -5 6
Re-grets, I’ve had a few;
3    6   -5  6    -5  6  -5  -5  5*
But then a-gain, too few to men-tion.
-3 -6  -3 -3  -6  6 -6
I did what I had to do
-3   -6 6    -6     7    7  -5  -6   6   
And saw it through with-out ex-emp-tion.

-6*  7     -6*  7    -7     7
I planned each char-tered course;
-7    6    7   -6  -6 -6   6   7 -6
Each care-ful step a-long the by-way,
-6   6     3    -6    6   -5
And more, much more than this,
-4 5 -5  -5  5
I did it my way.

6     -6    7     7     -7   7  -6*  7
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew


-6*  7  -7  -7  7     7 -7   7    -7
When I bit off more than I could chew.
-7    -8     8  8    -7    8    -7   -8
But through it all, when there was doubt,
-8 8  -9 -9  10  -8  -9  8
I ate it up and spit it out.
-7  -8   8  8   -7 8   -7   -8
I faced it all and I stood tall;
-8   8  -9 -9  8
And did it my way.

3      6     3       6   -5    6
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.
3     6  -5   6   -5   6   -5 -5   5*
I’ve had my fill; my share of los-ing.
-3  -6   -3  -6    6   -6
And now, as tears sub-side,
-3 -6  6   -6 7 -5  -6  6
I find it all so a-mus-ing.
-6*  7  -6* 7  -7   7
To think I did all that;
-7   6  7  -6   -6  -6 6  7   -6
And may I say - not in a shy way,
-6  6  3  -6  6  -5
Oh no, oh no not me,
-4 5  -5 -5  5
I did it my way.

6    6   -6 7  7    -7   7 -6*  7
For what is a man, what has he got? 
-6* 7   -7  -7    7   -7  7  -7
If not him-self, then he has not.
-7  -8  8    8    -7  8  -7   -8
To say the things he tru-ly feels;
-8   8   -9  -9   10 -8   -9   8
And not the words of one who kneels.
-7   -8  8   8   -7  -9   8   -8
The rec-ord shows I took the blows -
-8   8  -9 -9  8
And did it my way!
