And (Eb)now
the end is near
and so I (Bbm)face
the fi nal (C7)cur tain,
my (Fm)friend
what I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my (Bb7)case,
of which I’m (Eb)cer tain.
I’ve (Ebmaj7)lived
a life that’s (Bbm7)full,
I’ve tra velled (Ab)each
and ev ’ry (Fm7)high way,
and (Eb)more,
much more than (Fm7)this,
(Bb7)I did it (Fm7)my
(Eb)way.
Re (Eb)- grets
I’ve had a few
but then a (Bbm)gain
to few to (C7)men tion,
I (Fm)did
what I had to do,
and saw it (Bb7)through
with out ex (Eb)emp tion.
I (Ebmaj7)planned
each char tered (Bbm7)course,
each care ful (Ab)step
a long the (Fm7)by way,
and (Eb)more,
much more than (Fm7)this,
(Bb7)I did it (Fm7)my
(Eb)way.
Re (Bb9)way.
For Yes there were (Eb)times
I’m sure you (Bbm7)knew
when I bit (Ab)off
more than I could (Abmaj7)chew.
But (Eb)through it (Fm)all
when there was (Bb7)doubt
I ate it (Gm)up
and spit it (Cm)out.
I faced it (Fm)all
and I stood (Bb7)tall
and did it (Fm7)my
(Eb)way.
I’ve (Bb7)blows
and did it (Fm7)my
(Eb)way.
