Lyrics

And (C)now

the end is (Em)near,

and so I (Gm6)face

the fi nal (A7)cur tain.

My (Dm)friend,

what I’ll say it (Dm7)clear,

I’ll state my (G7)case,

of which I’m (C)cer tain.

I’ve lived

a life that’s (C7)full,

I trav eled (F)each

and ev ’ry (Fm)high way,

and (C)more,

much more than (G7)this,

I did it (F6)my

(C)way.

Re (C)grets,

I’ve had a (Em)few,

but then a (Gm6)gain,

too few to (A7)men tion.

I (Dm)did

what I’ll had to (Dm7)do,

and saw it (G7)through

with out ex (C)emp tion.

I planned

each chart ed (C7)course,

each care ful (F)step

a long the (Fm)by way,

and (C)more,

much more than (G7)this,

I did it (F6)my

(C)way.

Re (F6)my

(C)way.

Yes, there were times,

I’m sure you (C7)knew,

when I bit (F)off

more than I could chew.

But through it (Dm7)all,

when there was (G7)doubt,

I ate it (Em7)up

and spit it (Am)out.

I faced it (Dm7)all,

and I stood (G7)tall,

and did it my

(C)way.

I’ve loved,

I’ve laughed and (Em)cried,

I’ve had my (Gm6)fill,

my share of (A7)los ing.

And (Dm)now,

as tears sub (Dm7)side,

I find it (G7)all

so a (C)mus ing.

To think

I did all (C7)that,

and may I (F)say,

not in a (Fm)shy way,

“Oh (C)no,

oh, no, not (G7)me,

I did it (F6)my

(C)way.”

For what is a man,

what has he (C7)got?

If not him (F)self,

then he has naught.

To say the (Dm7)things

he tru ly (G7)feels

and not the (Em7)words

of one who (Am)kneels,

the rec ord (Dm7)shows

I took the (G7)blows,

and did it my

(C)way.
