My Way Tabulatur von Elvis Presley (für Baryton)

C   Em
And now the end is near, 
 Gm        A7
And so I face the final curtain,
   Dm       Dm7
My friend, I'll say it clear, 
      G7         C
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain

      C         C7
I've lived a life that's full,
    F                 Fm
I travelled each and every highway,
    C       G                       F   C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

  C            Em
Regrets, I've had a few, 
          Gm               A7
But then again, too few to mention,
  Dm   Dm7
I did what I had to do,
           G7               C
And saw it thru without exemption, 

  C         C7
I planned each chartered course, 
              F             Fm
Each careful step along the by way
    C       G                  F   C
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

                C             C7
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew,
   F                     Fm
When I bit off more than I could chew,
            Dm7G
But thru it all, when there was doubt, 
         Em              Am
I ate it up, and spit it out
   Dm7              G      F   C
I faced it all, and I stood tall, and did it my way

      C      Em
I've loved, I've laughed and cried,
            Gm                A7
I've had my fill, my share of losing
    Dm             Dm7
And now, as tears subside, 
          G7      C
I find it all so amusing

   C              C7       
To think I did all that, 
   F   Fm
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
For what is a man, what has he got, 
          F                         
If not himself, then he has not 
           Dm7   G     
To say the things he truly feels, 
    Em                Am
And not the words of one who kneels
   Dm7            G                 F   C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
           Dm7            G               F   C
The record shows I took the blows, and did it my way
