Song: My Way
By:   Frank Sinatra

[intro:]  |D   |D   |
 
[verse: 1]
    |D              |F#m/C#         {desc bass line D C# C B}  {F#m/C = x42222}
And now, the end is near,
        |Am6/C            |B7       {Am6/C can play  Am/C = x32210}      
And so I face the final curtain
   |Em                 |Em7/D       {desc bass line E D C# D }
My friend. I'll say it clear
              |A/C#              |D 
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
    |D                   |D7
I've lived a life that's full
           |G              |Gm
I traveled each and every highway
    |D                   |A             |G6   |D
And more, much more than this, I did it my___  way_
 
 
[verse: 2]
  |D                |F#m/C#
Regrets, I've had a few
         |Am6/C             |B7
But then again, too few to mention
  |Em               |Em7/D
I did what I had to do,
           |A/C#           |D
And saw it thru without exemption
  |D                    |D7
I planned each charted course
             |G              |Gm
Each careful step along the byway
    |D                   |A             |G6   |D
And more, much more than this, I did it my___  way_
 
 
[bridge: 1]
               |D                  |D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
           |G                    |G
When I bit off more than I could chew
            |Em                 |A7
But thru it all, when there was doubt
         |F#m7           |Bm
I ate it up, and spit it out
           |Em              |A
I faced it all, and I stood tall
           |G6      |D
And did it my____   way_
 
 
[verse: 3]
     |D                      |F#m/C#
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
        |Am6/C                |B7
I've had my fill; my share of losing
   |Em              |Em7/D
And now, as tears subside
       |A/C#         |D
I find it all so  amusing
   |D              |D7
To think I did all that
          |G               |Gm
And may I say  not in a shy way
    |D       |A           |G6    |D
No, oh no not me, I did it my___  way_

 
[bridge: 2]
              |D               |D7
For what is a man, what has he got
          |G                |G
If not himself, then he has naught
           |Em7            |A7
To say the things he truly feels  
            |F#m             |Bm7
And not the words of one who kneels
           |Em7            |A                |G6    |D      
The record shows I took the blows - And did it my____ way__

[coda:]   {        orchestral part        }
          |D   |D7   |G    |Gm   |D       |A      |G6    |D      
                                      yes  it was  my____ way__
