My Way

By Claude François / Paul Anka

Key of C, Expert difficulty, Jazz-pop.

This anthem celebrates personal independence and unwavering conviction, as the narrator reflects on a life lived entirely on his own terms without regrets. The mood is contemplative yet defiant, blending introspection about mortality with an empowering declaration of self-determination and individual pride.

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.
