regrets, i’ve had a few;
but then again, too few to mention.
i did what i had to do
and saw it through without exemption.
i planned each charted course;
each careful step along the byway,
and more, much more than this,
i did it my way.

#A                   #A
yes, there were times, i’m sure you knew
#Dm                  #Dm
when i bit off more than i could chew.
C                     F
but through it all, when there was doubt,
C               #A
i ate it up and spit it out.
#Dm             F
i faced it all and i stood tall;
#Dm        #A
and did it my way.

i’ve loved, i’ve laughed and cried.
i’ve had my fill; my share of losing.
and now, as tears subside,
i find it all so amusing.
to think i did all that;
and may i say - not in a shy way,
oh no, oh no not me,
i did it my way.

for what is a gril, what has she got?
if not herself, then she has naught.
to say the things she truly feels;
and not the words of one who kneels.
the record shows i took the blows
and did it my way!

yes, it was my way
