My Way by Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols - My Way

To play this properly you’ll need to tune your guitar down about a ¼ to a ½ of a tone
i.e. somewhere between E and Eb.

Intro:  Emaj7, Emaj7

Verse 1
    Emaj7
And now, the end is near
         Emaj7          C#sus4  C#
And so I face the final curtain
    F#m             F#m7/E
You cunt, I’m not a queer
              B                  E
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
                         E7*
I’ve lived a life that’s full
                  Am6
On each and every highway
    E                    B
And much, much more than this
      F#m  E
I did it,  my way

Break
E5,  E5,  E5,  E5

Verse 2
  E5
Regrets, I’ve had a few
                           C#
But then again too few too mention
  F#5
I did what I had to do
      B                 E5
I saw through without exemption

I planned each charted course
             A              Am
Each careful step along the byway
    E5                   B    
And more, much more than this
            E5
I did it my way

Verse 3
           E5
There were times, I’m sure you knew
               A
When there was fuck, but fuck all else to do
               F#5                  B
But through it down, when there was doubt
           G#5             C#
I shack it up or kicked it out
           F#5          B
I face the wall and the wall
           E5
And did it my way
Verse 4
     E5
I’ve loved and been a snake  
                              C#5
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing  
    F#5
And now, the tears subside
          B       E5
I find it all so amusing

To think, I killed a cat
          A              Am
And may I say – not in a gay way 
    E5           B
No, no oh no not me
         E5
I did it my way

For what is a brat, what has he got?
              A
When he wears pants and he cannot
        F#5             B
Say the things he truly feels 
             G#5               C#
But only the words, of one who kneels
           F#5               B
The record shows, I shot the bloke
           E5
And did it my way

Outro
E5,  E5,  E5,  E5  x2

E5,  E5,  E5.
