[Intro]


             
And now the en

      
d is near, and

         
 so I face the

       
 final curtain
            
My friend, I'l

         
l say it clear

              
, I'll state m

         
y case of whic

        
h I'm certain
         
I've lived a l

           
ife that's ful

        
l, I've travel

         
ed each and ev

        
ery highway
           
And more, much

           
 more than thi

       
s, I did it my

       
  way.

             
Regrets? I've 

       
had a few...bu

#        
t then again, 

           
too few to men

tion
            
I did what I h

         
ad to do, and 

         
saw it through

          
 without exemp

 
tion.
        
I planned each

            
 charted cours

        
e, each carefu

         
l step along t

      
he byway
           
But more, much

           
 more than thi

         
s,   I did it 

    
my  way.



            
Yes, there wer

        
e times, I'm s

          
ure you knew,
             
When I bit off

          
 more than I c

                         
ould chew;
          
But through it

           
 all, when the

        
re was doubt,
      
I ate it up an

            
d spit it out.
           
I faced it all

              
, and I stood 

            
tall, and did 

      
it my  way.



             
I've loved, I'

              
ve laughed and

      
 cried; I've h

         
ad my fill, my

          
 share of losi

ng.
            
And now, as te

         
ars subside, I

         
 find it all  

       
  so amusing.
        
To think, I di

          
d all that... 

         
and may I say,

       
 not in a shy 

way,
           
Oh no,    oh n

       
o not me,    I

          
 did it my  wa

 
y.



            
For what is a 

        
man? What has 

    
he got?
             
If not himself

          
, then he has 

            
naught.       

 
       
To say the thi

              
ngs he truly f


eels
        
And not the wo

            
rds of one who

     
 kneels
           
The record sho

              
ws I took the 

            
blows and did 

      
it my  way.

[Instrumental]
         

          
Yes, it was my

  
 way!
