[Intro]

|  D|  Dmaj7|
[Verse 1]
And Dnow, the end is Dmaj7near,
And so I D7face the final B7curtain,
My fEm7riend. I'll say it Em7/Dclear,
I'll state my Em7/C#case of A7which I'm Dcertain.
I've Dlived a life that's D7full.
I traveled eGach and every Gmhighway,
And Dmore, much more than Athis, I Asus4did it m     G   Dy way.
[Verse 2]
RegrDets, I've had a Dmaj7few,
But then D7again, too few to B7mention.
I Em7did what I had to Em7/Ddo,
And saw it Em7/C#thru withA7out exDemption.
I Dplanned each charted D7course,
Each careful Gstep along the Gmbyway,
And Dmore, much more than Athis, Asus4I did it Gm      y Dway.
[Verse 3]
Yes there were Dtimes, I'm sure you D7knew,
When I bit Goff more than I could Gsus4chew,G  
But thru it Emall, when there wA7as doubt,
I ate it F#mup, and spit it ouBm7t.
I faced it Emall, and I stood Atall,
And Asus4did it m      Gy Dway.
[Verse 4]
I've Dloved, I've lauDmaj7ghed and cried.
I've had D7my fill; my share B7of losing.
AnEm7d now, as tears suEm7/Dbside,
I find it aEm7/C#ll so  amA7using.D  
To Dthink I did all thatD7;
And may I say G- not in a shy Gmway,
"No, Doh Ano not mAsus4e, I did it m   Gy Dway".
[Verse 5]
For what is a mDan, what has he D7got?
If not himselfG, then he has naught.
To say thEm7e things he truly A7feels;  
And not the F#mwords of one who kBm7neels.
The record Em7shows I took the bAlows - And Asus4did it m   Gy waDy!
Author notes:
Starting at the A before my--way, play 002220 "and", 002230 "did", 002250 "it", 
then pick the G as 3xx000 "m....y", before stepping back to D 2xxxxx 0xxxxx 000232 "way"
If you prefer, you can play 022030 and 022020 for Em7/D and Em7/C#. 
Those Em sound slightly better on the 7th if you've got long fingers: Em 779917, Em7/D x5991x, Em7/C# x4991x

The story behind the song

"My Way" is an English adaptation of a French song, originally exploring the emotional routine of a failing relationship. The French version was inspired by the end of Claude François's romance with France Gall. Paul Anka later heard the French original and adapted it into the English lyrics we know today, which Frank Sinatra released in 1969. The song captures a retrospective look at a life lived on one's own terms, reflecting on choices and experiences without regret. It plays like a powerful, personal declaration of individuality and resilience.

[Verse 1]

D Dmaj7

And now, the end is near,

D7 B7

And so I face the final curtain,

Em7 Em7/D

My friend. I'll say it clear,

Em7/C# A7 D

I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

D D7

I've lived a life that's full.

G Gm

I traveled each and every highway,

D A Asus4 G D

And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.

[Verse 2]

D Dmaj7

Regrets, I've had a few,

D7 B7

But then again, too few to mention.

Em7 Em7/D

I did what I had to do,

Em7/C# A7 D

And saw it thru without exemption.

D D7

I planned each charted course,

G Gm

Each careful step along the byway,

D A Asus4 G D

And more, much more than this, I did it m y way.

[Verse 3]

D D7

Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,

G Gsus4 G

When I bit off more than I could chew,

Em A7

But thru it all, when there was doubt,

F#m Bm7

I ate it up, and spit it out.

Em A

I faced it all, and I stood tall,

Asus4 G D

And did it m y way.

[Verse 4]

D Dmaj7

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.

D7 B7

I've had my fill; my share of losing.

Em7 Em7/D

And now, as tears subside,

Em7/C# A7 D

I find it all so amusing.

D D7

To think I did all that;

G Gm

And may I say - not in a shy way,

D A Asus4 G D

"No, oh no not me, I did it m y way".

[Verse 5]

D D7

For what is a man, what has he got?

If not himself, then he has naught.

Em7 A7

To say the things he truly feels;

F#m Bm7

And not the words of one who kneels.

Em7 A Asus4 G D

The record shows I took the blows - And did it m y way!
