My way (1978)     (video)

C Em C7 A - A7

1. And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain,

F Dm G C

you cunt, I'm not so queer, I'll state my case of which I'm certain.

C C7 F Fm

I've lived a life that's full and each and every highway

C G Dm C

and that, much more than this, I did it my way. + C ~

C Em C7 A - A7

2. Regrets I've had a few but then again, too few to mention,

F Dm G C

I did what I had to do, I saw it through without exemption.

C C7 F Fm

I've planned each charted course, each careful step, along the highway,

C G Dm C

and more, much more than this I did it my way.

C C7

There were times, I'm sure you knew

F

when there was fuck, fuck, fuck all else to do,

Dm G Em Am

but through it all when there was doubt I shook it up or kicked it out,

Dm G Dm C

I faced 'em all and the world and did it my way.

C Em C7 A

3. I've loved and been a snide, I've had my fill, my share of losing,

F Dm G C

and now the tears subside, I find it all so amusing.

C C7 F Fm

To think, I killed a cat and might I say not in the die way,

C G Dm C

oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way.

C C7 F

For what is a brat, what has he got when he wears hats and he cannot

Dm G Em Am

say the things he truly feels but only the words of one who kneels.

Dm G Dm C

The record shows I've stuffed a bloke and did it my way ! + C ~
