And n^Cow, the end is^Em near, and so I^Gm face the final^A7 curtain

my fr^Dmiend, i say it^Dm7 clear, I state my^G7 case of which I`^Cm certain.

I`ve <sup>Cmaj7</sup>lived a life that`s^C7 full, i traveled^F each and evr`^Fmy highway

And m^Core, much more than^G7 this, I did it^Fm my^C way.



Regre^Cts, I`ve had a^Em few, but then a^Gmgain, too few to^A7 mention.

I d^Dmid, what I had to^Dm7 do, I saw it t^G7rough without a^Cxemtion

I ^Cmaj7planned each charted^C7 course each carful^F step along the^Fm by way

And m^Core, much more than^G7 this, I did it^Fm my^C way.



Yes, there were t^Cimes, I`m sure you^C7 knew

when I bit^F off, more than I could chew

but trough it ^Dm7all, when there was ^G7doubt

I ate it ^Em7up, and spit it^Am out

I faced it^Dm7 all, and I stood^G7 tall, and did it^Fm my ^Cway.



I`ve l<sup>C</sup>oved, I`ve laughed and c^Emried

I had my f^Gmill, my share of^A7 losing

And n^Dmow, as tears s^Dm7ubside, I find it^G7 all, so ^Camusing

To t^Cmaj7hink I did it all^C7 that and my I^F say, not in a^Fm shy way

Oh n^Co, oh no not ^G7me, I did it^Fm my^C way.



For what is a m^Can, what has he^C7 got

if not him^Fself, then he has not

to say the^Dm7 things he truely^G7 feels

and not the ^Em7words of one who k^Amneels

The record s^Dm7hows I took the^G7 blows, and did it^Fm my ^Cway.
