[Verse I]
And [C]now, the end is [Em]near,
And so I [Gm]face, the [A7]curtain.
My [Dm]friend, I'll say it [Dm/C]clear,
I'll state my [G7]case, of which I'm [C]certain.
[Verse II]
I've [C]lived, a life thats [C7]full,
I've traveled [F]each, and every [Fm]highway.
But [C]more, much more than [G7]this,
I did it [F]my_____ [C]way.
[Verse III]
Re[C]grets, I've had a [Em]few,
But then [Gm]again, too few to [A7]mention.
I [Dm]did, what I had to [Dm/C]do,
And saw it [G7]through, without e[C]xemption.
[Verse IV]
I [C]planned, each chartered [C7]course,
Each careful [F]step, along the [Fm]byway.
But [C]more, much more than [G7]this,
I did it [F]my ..............[C]way.
[Verse V]
Yes, there were [C]times, I'm sure you [C7]knew,
When I bit [F]off, more than I could [F]chew.
But through it [Dm]all, when there was [G7]doubt,
I ate it [Em]up, and spit it [Am]out.
I faced it [Dm]all, and I stood [G7]tall,
And did it [Fm]my ......[C]way.
[Verse VI]
I've [C]loved, I've laughed and [Em]cried,
I've had my [Gm]fill, my share of [A7]losing.
And [Dm]now, as tears [Dm/C]subside,
I find [G7]it all so [C]amusing.
[Verse VII]
To [C]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 [F]my ,.......[C]way.
[Verse VIII]
For what is a [C]man, what has he [C7]got,
If not [F]himself, then he has [F]naught.
To say the [Dm]things, he truely [G7]feels,
And not the [Em]words, of one who [Am]kneels.
The record [Dm]shows, I took the [G7]blows,
And did it [Fm]my ..........[C]way.
