3 5 3 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 -4 4 And now, the end is near; and so I face the final curtain. -3 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -3 -5 5 -5 -4 6 5 -4 -5 5 My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. 4 6 6 6 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 -5 5 6 -5 5 -5 I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highwa a--ay; 3 5 3 -5 5 -4 -3 4 -4 -4 4 3 5 and more, much more than this, I did it my way. Re---grets, 6 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 5 5 5 -4 -4 4 I’ve had a few; but then a---gain, too few to mention. -3 -5 -5 -5 -5 5 -5 -3 -5 5 -5 -4 6 5 -4 -5 5 I did what I had to do and saw it through without e-x---emption. 4 6 6 6 -5 6 -6 5 6 -5 -5 -5 5 6 -5 I planned each chartered course; each careful step along the byway, 3 5 5 -5 5 -4 -3 4 -4 -4 4 but more, much more than this, I did it my way 5 -5 6 6 -7 6 -5 6 -5 6 -7 -7 7 -7 6 Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew, when I bit off more than I -6 -6 -7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -7 -7 7 -8 -8 8 -7 -8 c'chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it | 7 7 7 -7 7 7 -8 7 -7 -7 7 -8 -8 7 out. I faced it all and I stood tall; and did it my way. 3 5 3 5 -4 5 3 5 -4 5 I’ve loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; 3 5 -4 -4 4 my share of losing. -3 -5 -3 -5 5 -5 -3 -5 5 -5 6 -4 -5 5 And now, as tears sub---side, I find it all so a---musing. 4 6 6 6 -5 6 -6 5 6 -5 To think I did all that and may I say -5 -5 5 6 -5 6 5 3 -5 5 -4 -3 4 -4 -4 4 not in a shy way, no, no, oh no not me, I did it my way. 4 5 -5 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 -5 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 For what is a man, what has he got? If not him self, then he has -6 -6 -7 7 7 -6 7 -6 -7 -7 7 -8 -8 8 -7 -8 naught. To say the things he truly feels; and not the words of one who 7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 7 -7 -7 7 -8 -8 7 kneels. The record shows I took the blows - and did it my way! -3 4 -4 -4------- 4------ I did it my way.
