Em7

And nowD the end is neF#mar, and so I faceF#m7 the final curtB7ain;

My frEmiend, I'll say it cBlear, I'll state myEm caseA7 of which I'm Dcertain.

DI've lived a life that's fDmaj7ull, I've tD7raveled eaGch and every hGmighway,

And mDoreBm7, much more than thEmis, A7 I did it G6my Gdim wDay.

RegrDets? I've had aF#m few...but then aF#m7gain, too few to mB7ention;

I dEmid what I had to Bdo, and saw it thrEmoughA7 without eDxemption.

DI planned each charted cDmaj7ourse, each cD7areful sGtep along the Gmbyway;

But mDore,Bm7 much more than Emthis,A7 I did it G6my Gdim wDay.

A7Yes, there were tDimes, I'm sure you Dmaj7knew, D7

When I bit oGff more than I could chew;

But through it Emall, when there was dA7oubt,

I ate it F#mup and spit it Bmout. Bm7

I faced it Em7all, and I stood A7tall, and did it G6my Gdim wDay. A7

I've loDved, I've laughed and cF#mried; I've had my F#m7fill, my share of lB7osing.

And Emnow, as tears subBside, I find itEm allA7 so aDmusing.

To tDhink, I did all tDmaj7hat...and D7may I sGay, not in a Gmshy way,

Oh nDo,Bm7 oh no not Emme, A7 I did it G6my Gdim wDay.

For wA7hat is a Dman? What has he Dmaj7got? D7

If not hiGmself, then he has naught.

To say the tEmhings he truly A7feels,

And not the wF#mords of one who knBmeels;Bm7

The record sEm7hows I took the bA7lows and did it G6my Gdim wDay.
