   [Intro]
N.C
   [Verse 1]
FAnd now the end is near, and so I face the final Dcurtain,
My Gmfriend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my Ccase, of which I'm Fcertain.
I've lived a life that's Fmfull, I traveled Bbeach and every highBbmway,
But Fmore, much more than Cthis, I did it Gmmy.... Fway.
   [Verse 2]
FRegrets I have a few, but then again, too few to Dmention,
I Gmdid what I had to do,
and saw it Cthrough' without Fexception,
I planned each chartered Fmcourse,Each careful Bbstep along the by-Bbmway.
But Fmore, much more than Cthis, I did it Gmmy.... Fway.
  [Verse 3]
FYes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I Bbbit off more than I could chew,
But through' it Gmall, when there was Cdoubt,
I shoot it up Amup, and spit it Dmout.
And faced it Gmall and I stood Ctall, and did it Gmmy.... Fway.
   [Verse 4]
FI've lIved, I've laughed and cried, I've had my fill,my share of Dlosing
And Gmnow, as tears subside,
I find it Call.. so Famusing.
To think I did all Fmthat, and may I Bbsay, not in a shy Bbmway
Oh, Fno, oh no not Cme, I did it Gmmy.... Fway.
   [Verse 5]
FFor what is a man, what has he got,
If not Bbhimself, then he has not
To say the Gmthings he truly Cfeels,
And not the Amwords of one who Dmkneels,
The record Gmshows I took the Cblows, and did it Gmmy.... Fway
   [Outro]
