My Way
ELVIS PRESLEY
C Em Gm6 A
And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain,
Dm Dm7 G C
My friends. I'll say it clear, I'll state my case of which I'm
certain.
C7 F Fm
I've lived a life that's full. I traveled each and every
highway,
C G F6 C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
C Em Gm6 A7 Bm7 A/C#
Re grets, I've had a few, but then a gain, too few to men tion.
Dm Dm7 G7 C
I did what I had to do, and saw it through without ex emption.
C7 F Fm
I planned each chartered course, each careful step along the
byway,
C G F6 C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
C C7 F Dm
Yes there were times,I'm sure you knew,when I bit off more than
I could chew,
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am
But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up, and spit
it out.
Dm7 G7 F C
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way.
C Em Gm6 A Bm7 A/C#
I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill, my share
of losing.
Dm Dm7 G7 C
And now, as tears sub side, I find it all so am using.
C7 F Fm
To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way.
C G F C
Oh no, oh no, not me, I did it my way.
C C7 F Dm
For what is a man, what has he got? If not him self, then he has
naught.
Dm7 G7 Em7 Am
To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who
kneels.
Dm7 G7 F C
The record shows I took the blows - and did it my way! |
