Elvis Presley - My way

And ^Cnow, the end is^Em near; And so I ^Em7face the final ^Acurtain. My ^Dmfriend, I’ll say i^Dm7t clear, I’ll state m^Gy case, of which I?^C??m certain.

I’v^C7e lived a life that’s full. I’ve travele^Fd each and ev??^Dm?ry highway; And ^Cmore, much more than ^Gthis, I did it ^Dmmy ^Cway.

Re^Cgrets, I’ve had ^Ema few; But then a^Em7gain, too few to ^Amention. I ^Dmdid what I had to ^Dm7do And saw it ^Gthrough without ex^Cemption.

^C7I planned each charted course; Each careful ^Fstep along the ^Dm7byway, And ^Cmore, much more than ^Gthis, I did it ^Dmmy ^Cway.

Yes, there were ^Ctimes, I’m sure yo^C7u knew When I bit ^Foff more than I could ^Dmchew. But through it ^Dm7all, when there was ^Gdoubt, I ate it ^Em7up and spit it ^Amout. I faced it ^Dm7all and I stood ^Gtall; And did it ^Fmy ^Cway.

I’v^Ce loved, I’ve laughed ^Emand cried. I’ve had m^Em7y fill; my share o^Af losing. And ^Dmnow, as tears sub^Dm7side, I find it ^Gall so am^Cusing.

To ^C7think I did all that; And may I ^Fsay - not in a ^Dmshy way, ^CNo, oh no not ^Gme, I did it ^Dmmy ^Cway.

For what is a ^Cman, what has he ^C7got? If not him^Fself, then he has ^Dmnaught. To say the ^Em7words he truly ^G7feels; And not the ^Em7words of one who ^Amkneels. The record ^Dm7shows I took the ^G7blows - And did it ^Fmy ^Cway!
