And 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 (Dm)clear,
I’ll state my (Dm7)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 grets,
I’ve had a (Em)few,
but then a (Gm6)gain,
too few to (A7)men tion.
I (Dm)did
what I had to (Dm)do,
and saw it (Dm7)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 (F6)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 (Dm)side,
I find it (Dm7)all
(G7)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 (F6)my
(C)way.

About “My Way”
- Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "My Way"?
- Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
- What key is "My Way" by Elvis Presley played in?
- My Way is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
- What's the tempo (BPM) of "My Way"?
- The arrangement plays at 90 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
- Is "My Way" easy to play on piano?
- This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
- Can I download sheet music for "My Way"?
- Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
- Who composed "My Way"?
- "My Way" was originally performed by Elvis Presley. The Super Simple Piano arrangement is simplified for beginner-to-intermediate players.
- What chords are used in "My Way"?
- This arrangement uses 13 chords: A7, Am, C, C7, Dm, Dm7, Em, Em7, +5 more.
- What other songs by Elvis Presley can I play here?
- Try "C'MON EVERYBODY", "A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION", "BURNING LOVE". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
- Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
- Yes — "My Way" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
- What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
- Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
- Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
- Yes — slow the tempo from 90 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
- Why can I click a note in the score?
- Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
- Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
- Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
