 Dance around the block, rock chalk Jaywalk, chalk at the park, says

"POBODY'S NERFECT!  -The Good Place"

Yesterday I put up my Swan Leaf on a wall there

The day before the words, "Nothing is above your beyond. Love, Dad"

When I got home I played "My Way". I love the song, but hate the words, so I changed my way to make it more...my way. 

    D               Dmaj7
And now, the end is near,
         D7            B7
And so I face the final curtain,
    Em7                Em7/D
My friend. I'll say it clear,
             Em7/C#   A7       D
I'll state my case of which I'm not always certain.
     D                   D7
I've lived a life that's full.
            G             Gm
I traveled many, but not all, highways,
    D                    A       Asus4   G    D
And more, much more than this, I listened to what others had to say.
 
 
[Verse 2]
    D               Dmaj7
Regrets, I've had a few,
         D7                B7
But then again, too few to mention.
  Em7               Em7/D
I mostly did what I loved to do,
           Em7/C#   A7    D
And saw it thru with some exceptions.
  D                    D7
I didn't plan a charted course,
             G              Gm
I danced free along the byway,
    D                    A     Asus4    G        D
And more, much more than this, I listened to what others had to say.
 
 
[Verse 3]
               D                   D7
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
           G                     Gsus4 G
When I bit off more than I could chew,
            Em               A7
But thru it all, when you were around,
         F#m               Bm7
I ate it up, and swallowed it down.
           Em               A
I faced most things, but I leaned low
   Asus4    G       D
To listen to what others had to say.
 
 
[Verse 4]
    D               Dmaj7
I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
         D7                B7
But I still haven't had my fill, my share of losing.
  Em7               Em7/D
And now, as tears subside,
           Em7/C#   A7    D
I find it all so  amusing.
  D                    D7
To think I did all that;
             G              Gm
And may I say - not in a shy way,
    D   A       Asus4        G    D
"No, oh no not me, I listened to what others had to say".
 
 
[Verse 5]
               D               D7
For what is a man, what has he got?
              G
If not some friends, then he has naught.
         Em7               A7
To say the things he truly feels;  
           F#m                Bm7
And not the words of one who crows,
           Em7               A         Asus4    G      D
The record shows I let life flow - and listened to what others had to say!
