Lyrics

And (Eb)now

the end is near

and so I (Bbm)face

the fi nal (C7)cur tain,

my (Fm)friend

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

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.
