Anda now, the 

       
end is near
         
And so I face 

       
the final curt

ain
            
My friend, I'l

         
l say it clear
              
I'll state my 

          
case, of which

     
 I'm certain
          
I've lived    

            
   a life that

     
's full
             
I traveled eac

            
h and every hi


ghway
           
And more, much

           
 more than thi

/
s
        
I did it my-y-

    
y-y way



             
Re grets, I've

       
 had a few
         
But then again

          
, too few to m


ention
            
I did what I h

      
ad to do
           
And saw it thr

#             
ough without e

  
x emption
          
I planned     

            
   each charte

    
d course
             
Each careful s

        
tep         a 

    
long the byway
           
And more, much

           
 more than thi

/   
s
          
I did it      

   
my way 



              
Yes, there wer

        
e times,      

              
 I'm sure you 


knew
             
When I bit off

  
 more  than I 

could 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 had my fi

       
ll, my share o


f losing
            
Anda now, as t

         
ears sub side
          
I find it all 

     
so a musing
         
To think      

           
  I did all th

  
at
            
And may I say,

    
        not in

   
 a shy way
           
Oh, no, oh, no

        
, not me
          
I did it      

   
my way



              
For what is a 

        
man,       wha

            
t has he got?
            
If not him sel

           
f, 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-

          
y-y-y-y    wa-

a-a-a-ay
