as recorded on "The Great Rock´n´Roll Swindle"
(Guitar picking while Sid singin alone)
E Emaj7
And now, the end is near
Bm6 C#7
And so I face the final curtain
F#m F#m7
You cunt, I'm not a queer
B7 E
I'll state my case of which I'm certain
E E7
I've lived a life that's full
A Am
And each and every highway
E B
And yet, much more than this
F#m7 E
I did it my way
(Guitar starts - Band comes in...Rock´n´Roll- In believe they play Powerchords without the 7th)
(Verse 1)
E
Regrets I've had a few
C#
But then again, too few to mention
F#m
I did what I had to do
B E
I saw it through without exemption
E E
I've planned each charted course
A Am
Each careful step along the highway
E B
And more, much more than this
E
I did it my way
(Verse 2)
E
There were times,
E
I'm sure you knew
A
When there was fuck, fuck
A
Fuck all else to do
F#m
But through it all,
B
When there was doubt
G#m C#(7)
I shot it up or kicked it out
F#m B
I faced 'em all and the world
E(9) E
And did it my way
(Verse 3 - same as Verse 1)
E
I've loved and been a snide
C#
I've had my fill, my share of losing
F#m
And now the tears subside
B E
I find it all so amusing
E E
To think, I killed a cat
A Am
And might I say not in the gay way
E B
Oh no, oh no, not me
E
I did it my way
(Verse 4 - same as Verse 2)
E
For what is a Brit,
E
What has he got
A A
When he wears hats and he cannot
F#m B
Say the things he truly feels
G#m C#
But only the words Of one who kneels
F#m B
The record shows, I've shot a bloke
E(9) E
And did it my way
Solo in E - End
