my way chords
elvis presley ( words by paul anka , song comme dhabitude , jacques revaux )

C Em
and now , the end is near;
E7 A7
and so i face the final curtain .
Dm Dm7
my friend , 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 ve traveled each and every highway
C G7
and more , much more than this ,
Dm C
i did it my way .

C Em
regrets , i ve had a few;
E7 A7
but then again , too few to mention .
Dm Dm7
i did what i had to do ,
G7 C
and saw it through without exemption .
C C7
i planned each charted course ,
F Fm
each careful step along the byway
C G7
and more , much more than this ,
Dm C
i did it my way .

C C7
yes , there were times , i m sure you knew ,
F F7
when i bit off more than i could chew .
Dm7 G7
but through it all , when there was doubt ,
E7 Am
i ate it up and spit it out .
Dm7 G7
i faced it all and i stood tall;
Dm C
and did it my way .

C Em
ive loved , i ve laughed and cried ,
E7 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 ,
C G7
oh no , no not me ,
Dm C
i did it my way .

C C7
for what is a man , what has he got?
F F7
if not himself , then he has naught .
Dm7 G7
to say the words he truly feels;
E7 Am
and not the words of one who kneels .
Dm7 G7
the record shows i took the blows ,
Dm C
and did it my way .
