Elvis Presley – My way

     C               C/B
And now, the end is near,
           Gm/Bb        A G/B A7
And so I face the final curtain.
     Dm                   F/C
My friends, I'll say it clear
               G7/B G              C
I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

       C                  Gm/Bb
I've lived a life that's full -
           F                   Fm/D
I've travelled each and every highway.
     C           G7
And more, much more than this,
        Dm/F F 
I did it my way.

     C               C/B
Regrets? I've had a few,
           Gm/Bb        A G/B A7
But then again, too few to mention.
     Dm              F/C
I did what I had to do
               G7/B G            C
And saw it through without exemption.

       C                  Gm/Bb
I planned each charted course -
           F                   Fm/D
Each careful step along the byway,
     C           G7
And more, much more than this,
        Dm/F F 
I did it my way.

     C            C/B
Yes, there were times, 
     Gm/Bb  A G/B A7
I'm sure you knew,
     Dm         F/C
When I bit off more 
   G7/B G     C
than I could chew,

       C                  Gm/Bb
But through it all, when there was doubt,
           F          Fm/D
I ate it up and spit it out.
     C           G7
I faced it all and I stood tall
        Dm/F F 
And did it my way.

     C               C/B
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
           Gm/Bb        A G/B A7
I've had my fill - my share of losing.
     Dm              F/C
But now, as tears subside,
               G7/B G  C
I find it all so amusing.

       C            Gm/Bb
To think I did all that,
           F          Fm/D
And may I say, not in a shy way -
     C           G7
Oh no. Oh no, not me.
        Dm/F F 
I did it my way.

     C         C/B
For what is a man? 
   Gm/Bb   A G/B A7
What has he got?
   Dm       F/C
If not himself 
           G7/B G C
Then he has naught.

     C               C/B
To say the things he truly feels
           F          Fm/D
And not the words of one who kneels.
     C           G7
The record shows I took the blows
        Dm/F F 
And did it my way.
        Dm/F F 
Yes, it was my way.
