Elvis Presley - My Way

[INTRO]
C

       C   Em
And now the end is near,

Gm        A7
and so I face the final curtain.

   Dm       Dm7
My friends, I'll say it clear,

     G7         C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.


      C         C7
I've lived a life that's full,

  F  Fm
I traveled eachand every highway,

    C       G                        F   C
And more, much more than this, I did itmy way


  C            Em
Regrets, I've had a few,

          Gm               A7
but then again, too few to mention.

  Dm   Dm7
I did what I had to do

           G7               C
and saw it thru without exemption.


  C         C7
I planned each chartered course,

               F             Fm
each carefull step along the by way.

    C        G                  F   C
And more, much more than this, I did it  my way


                C            C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,

  F                      Fm
when I bit off  more than I could chew,

            Dm7G
But thru it all, when there was doubt,

         Em              Am
I ate it up, and spit it out.

   Dm7              G      F   C
I faced it  all, and I stood tall and did it my way.


      C      Em
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,

            Gm                A7
I've had my fill, my share of losing,

    Dm              Dm7
And now,  as tears subside,

          G7      C
I find it all so amusing


   C             C7      
To think I did all that,

  F  Fm
and may I say,not in a shy way,

   CG  F   C
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way ?


              C       C7
For what is a man, what has he got,

          F                        
if not himself, then he has not

           Dm7   G    
To say the things he truly feels,

   Em                Am
And not the words of one who kneels?

  Dm7            G                 F   C
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.

           Dm7            G              F   C
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way.
