And Dnow the end is Dmaj7near and so I D7face the final B7curtain.
My Emfriend, I'll say it Em/Dclear, I'll state my A/C#case   A7of which I'm Dcertain.
I've Dlived a life that's Am7full,   D7I traveled Geach and every GmhighwayGm/Bb,
and Dmore, much more than A7this, I did it Gmmy       Gm/Bb  Dway.
[Part 2]
RegrDets, I've had a Dmaj7few, but then aD7gain too few to B7mention.
I Emdid what I had to Em/Ddo and saw it A/C#thru   A7without eDxemption.
I Dplanned   Dmaj7each charted Am7course,  D7each careful Gstep along the Gmbyway.Gm/Bb

Yes, there were times,   I'm sure you knew,
when I bit Goff more than I could Em/Gchew.
But thru it Em7all, when there Awas doubt,
I ate it F#m7up, and spit it Bm7out.
I faced it Em7all   G/Dand I stood A7/C#tall
A7* Em7/A* A7*   G     D  G/A  
and did    it  my way.
[Part 4]
I've Dloved, I've laughed and Dmaj7cried. I've had my D7fill, my share of B7losing.
And Emnow as tears subEm/Dside, I find it A/C#all    A7so aDmusing.
To Dthink   Dmaj7I did Am7all that   D7and may I Gsay, not in a Gmshy wayGm/Bb,
