MY WAY (p. anka, j. revaux, g. thibault, c. frankois)
and now, the end is near;
and so i face the final curtain.
my friend, ill say it clear,
/G
ill state my case, of which im certain.
ive lived a life thats full.
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6
ive traveled each and evry highway;
and more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
regrets, ive had a few;
but then again, too few to mention.
i did what i had to do
/G
and saw it through without exemption.
i planned each charted course;
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6
each careful step along the byway,
but more, much more than this,
i did it my way.
yes, there were times, i'm sure you knew
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6
when i bit off more than i could chew.
but through it all, when there was doubt,
i ate it up and spit it out.
i faced it all and i stood tall;
and did it my way.
ive loved, ive laughed and cried
ive had my fill; my share of losing.
and now, as tears subside,
/G
i find it all so amusing.
to think i did all that;
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6
and may i say not in a shy way,
oh no, oh no not me,
i did it my way.
for what is a man, what has he got?
Fadd9 F FmMaj7 Fm6
if not himself, then he has naught.
to say the things he truly feels;
and not the words of one who kneels.
the record shows i took the blows
and did it my way!
