Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7[Intro] | D | Dmaj7 | | D | Dmaj7 | [Verse 1] D Dmaj7 And now, the end is near, D7 B7 And so I face the final curtain, Em7 Em7/D My friend. I'll say it clear, Em7/C# A7 D I'll state my case of which I'm certain. D D7 I've lived a life that's full. G Gm I traveled each and every highway, D A Asus4 G D And more, much more than this, I did it m y way. [Verse 2] D Dmaj7 Regrets, I've had a few, D7 B7 But then again, too few to mention. Em7 Em7/D I did what I had to do, Em7/C# A7 D And saw it thru without exemption. D D7 I planned each charted course, G Gm Each careful step along the byway, D A Asus4 G D And more, much more than this, I did it m y way. [Verse 3] D D7 Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew, G Gsus4 G When I bit off more than I could chew, Em A7 But thru it all, when there was doubt, F#m Bm7 I ate it up, and spit it out. Em A I faced it all, and I stood tall, Asus4 G D And did it m y way. [Verse 4] D Dmaj7 I've loved, I've laughed and cried. D7 B7 I've had my fill; my share of losing. Em7 Em7/D And now, as tears subside, Em7/C# A7 D I find it all so amusing. D D7 To think I did all that; G Gm And may I say - not in a shy way, D A Asus4 G D "No, oh no not me, I did it m y way". [Verse 5] D D7 For what is a man, what has he got? G If not himself, then he has naught. Em7 A7 To say the things he truly feels; F#m Bm7 And not the words of one who kneels. Em7 A Asus4 G D The record shows I took the blows - And did it m y way! Author notes: Starting at the A before my--way, play 002220 "and", 002230 "did", 002250 "it", then pick the G as 3xx000 "m....y", before stepping back to D 2xxxxx 0xxxxx 000232 "way" If you prefer, you can play 022030 and 022020 for Em7/D and Em7/C#. Those Em sound slightly better on the 7th if you've got long fingers: Em 779917, Em7/D x5991x, Em7/C# x4991x
