Frank Sinatra, My Way(1967) Key: :[C](w: Jacques Revauw, Claude Francios, english lyrics by Paul Anka)
VERSE 1:
And [C] now, the end is [Em] near
And so I [Gm6] face, the final [A7] curtain
My [Dm] friends, I'll say it [Dm7] clear
I'll state my [G7] case, of which I'm [C] certain
CHORUS 1:
I've [C] lived a life that's [C7] full
I've travelled [F] each and every [Fm] highway
And [C] more, much more than [G7] this
I did it [Dm7] my [C] way
VERSE 2:
Re-[C]-grets? I've had a [Em] few
But then a-[Gm6]-gain, too few to [A7] mention
I [Dm] did, what I had to [Dm7] do
And saw it [G7] through without ex-[C]-emption
CHORUS 2:
I [C] planned each charted [C7] course
Each careful [F] step along the [Fm] byway
And [C] more, much more than [G7] this
I did it [Dm7] my [C] way
BRIDGE 1:
Yes, there were [C] 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 [Dm7] my [C] way
VERSE 3:
I've [C] loved, I've laughed and [Em] cried
I've had my [Gm6] fill, my share of [A7] losing
But [Dm] now, as tears sub-[Dm7]-side
I find it [G7] all so a-[C]-musing
CHORUS 3:
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 [Dm7] my [C] way
BRIDGE 1:
For what is a [C] man? What has he [C7] got?
If not him-[F]-self, then he has not
To say the [Dm7] things he truly [G7] feels
And not the [Em7] words of one who [Am] kneels
The record [Dm7] shows I took the [G7] blows
And did it [Dm7] my [C] way
OUTRO: [C][C7] // [F][Fm] // [C][G7 open]
Yes, it was [Dm7] my [C] way
