DAnd now the end is F#mnear and so I F#m7face the final B7curtain
my Emfriend, I'll say it D(aug)clear, I'll state my Emcase A7of wich I'm certDain
DI've lived a life that's Dmaj7full, I've D7travaled Geach and every Gmhighway
and Dmore, Bm7much more than Emthis,A7 I did it mG6y wayG(dim) D
DRegrets, I've had a F#mfew, but then F#m7again, too few to mentB7ion
I Emdid what I had toD(aug) do, and saw it Emthrough without exemptDion
DI planned each charted Dmaj7course, each D7careful Gstep along the Gmbyway
but Dmore, Bm7much more than Emthis,A7 I did it G6my waG(dim)y D
A7Yes, there were Dtimes, I'm sure you Dmaj7knew D7
when I bit Goff more than I could chew
but through it Emall, when there was A7doubt
I ate it F#mup and spit it Bmout Bm7
I faced it Em7all, and I stood A7tall, and did it G6my waG(dim)y D
DI've loved, I've laughed and F#mcried, I've had my F#m7fill, my share of loosB7ing
and Emnow, as tears D(aug)subside, I find it Emall sA7o amusinDg
DTo think, I did all Dmaj7that and D7may I Gsay, not in a Gmshy way
Oh Dno, Bm7oh no not Emme, IA7 did it myG6 wayG(dim) D
A7For what is a Dman ? What has heDmaj7 got D7
If not Ghimself, then he has naught
to say the Emthings, he truly A7feels
and not the F#mwords of one who kBmneelsBm7
the record Em7shows, I took the A7blows and did it G6my waG(dim)y D
