Frank Sinatra, My Way(1967) Key: :[D#](w: Jacques Revauw, Claude Francios, english lyrics by Paul Anka)
VERSE 1:
And [D#] now, the end is [Gm] near
And so I [A#m6] face, the final [C7] curtain
My [Fm] friends, I'll say it [Fm7] clear
I'll state my [A#7] case, of which I'm [D#] certain
CHORUS 1:
I've [D#] lived a life that's [D#7] full
I've travelled [G#] each and every [G#m] highway
And [D#] more, much more than [A#7] this
I did it [Fm7] my [D#] way
VERSE 2:
Re-[D#]-grets? I've had a [Gm] few
But then a-[A#m6]-gain, too few to [C7] mention
I [Fm] did, what I had to [Fm7] do
And saw it [A#7] through without ex-[D#]-emption
CHORUS 2:
I [D#] planned each charted [D#7] course
Each careful [G#] step along the [G#m] byway
And [D#] more, much more than [A#7] this
I did it [Fm7] my [D#] way
BRIDGE 1:
Yes, there were [D#] times, I'm sure you [D#7] knew
When I bit [G#] off more than I could chew
But through it [Fm7] all, when there was [A#7] doubt
I ate it [Gm7] up and spit it [Cm] out
I faced it [Fm7] all and I stood [A#7] tall
And did it [Fm7] my [D#] way
VERSE 3:
I've [D#] loved, I've laughed and [Gm] cried
I've had my [A#m6] fill, my share of [C7] losing
But [Fm] now, as tears sub-[Fm7]-side
I find it [A#7] all so a-[D#]-musing
CHORUS 3:
To think I did all [D#7] that
And may I [G#] say, not in a [G#m] shy way
Oh [D#] no, oh no, not [A#7] me
I did it [Fm7] my [D#] way
BRIDGE 1:
For what is a [D#] man? What has he [D#7] got?
If not him-[G#]-self, then he has not
To say the [Fm7] things he truly [A#7] feels
And not the [Gm7] words of one who [Cm] kneels
The record [Fm7] shows I took the [A#7] blows
And did it [Fm7] my [D#] way
OUTRO: [D#][D#7] // [G#][G#m] // [D#][A#7 open]
Yes, it was [Fm7] my [D#] way
