And Cnow, the end is Emnear;
And so I Em7face the final Acurtain.
My Dmfriend, I’ll say it Dm7clear,
I’ll state my Gcase, of which I’m Ccertain.
I’ve C7lived a life that’s full.
I’ve traveled Feach and ev’ry Dmhighway;
And Cmore, much more than Gthis,
I did it Dmmy Cway.
ReCgrets, I’ve had a Emfew;
But then aEm7gain, too few to Amention.
I Dmdid what I had to Dm7do
And saw it Gthrough without exCemption.
C7I planned each charted course;
Each careful Fstep along the Dm7byway,
And Cmore, much more than Gthis,
I did it Dmmy Cway.
Yes, there were Ctimes, I’m sure you C7knew
When I bit Foff more than I could Dmchew.
But through it Dm7all, when there was Gdoubt,
I ate it Em7up and spit it Amout.
I faced it Dm7all and I stood Gtall;
And did it Fmy Cway.
I’ve Cloved, I’ve laughed and Emcried.
I’ve had my Em7fill; my share of Alosing.
And Dmnow, as tears subDm7side,
I find it Gall so amCusing.
To C7think I did all that;
And may I Fsay - not in a Dmshy way,
CNo, oh no not Gme,
I did it Dmmy Cway.
For what is a Cman, what has he C7got?
If not himFself, then he has Dmnaught.
To say the Em7words he truly G7feels;
And not the Em7words of one who Amkneels.
The record Dm7shows I took the G7blows -
And did it Fmy Cway!

My Way

by Elvis Presley

Lyrics & chords · Original key

C Em

And now, the end is near;

Em7 A

And so I face the final curtain.

Dm Dm7

My friend, I’ll say it clear,

G C

I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain.

I’ve lived a life that’s full.

F Dm

I’ve traveled each and ev’ry highway;

C G

And more, much more than this,

Dm C

I did it my way.

C Em

Regrets, I’ve had a few;

Em7 A

But then again, too few to mention.

Dm Dm7

I did what I had to do

G C

And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;

F Dm7

Each careful step along the byway,

C G

And more, much more than this,

Dm C

I did it my way.

C C7

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

F Dm

When I bit off more than I could chew.

Dm7 G

But through it all, when there was doubt,

Em7 Am

I ate it up and spit it out.

Dm7 G

I faced it all and I stood tall;

F C

And did it my way.

C Em

I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried.

Em7 A

I’ve had my fill; my share of losing.

Dm Dm7

And now, as tears subside,

G C

I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;

F Dm

And may I say - not in a shy way,

C G

No, oh no not me,

Dm C

I did it my way.

C C7

For what is a man, what has he got?

F Dm

If not himself, then he has naught.

Em7 G7

To say the words he truly feels;

Em7 Am

And not the words of one who kneels.

Dm7 G7

The record shows I took the blows -

F C

And did it my way!
