My Way

By Claude François / Paul Anka

Key of D, Expert difficulty.

This iconic ballad reflects on a life lived with unwavering conviction and independence, celebrating the courage to follow one's own path despite obstacles and consequences. The mood is contemplative yet defiant, mixing melancholy introspection with triumphant resolve as the narrator faces life's end with pride in their personal choices.

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
