This is probably the most famous song of Frank Sinatra. I think Pearl Jam is
playing a cover of Elvis Presley, who also played it. This is one of the first
songs I've learned to play whith my father, so I think I know it pretty well.
I'm not sure if Pearl Jam have played it exactly like this, but I did it My Way!

CORRECTIONS:

This corrections aren't important for the song. It doesn't modify anything really
. I'm just commenting aspects of the way it is played.
In the 8th line I've tabbed this:

this, I did it my way.Yes there... times, I'm sure you

But I realized that in the back of those arpeggios the rhythm starts. Then the ar
peggios stop and there will be only the rhythm. So, it would be something like th
is:

Also I have to say that I don't really know if the correct tune is C. As I'd alwa
ys played with C, I tabbed in this tune; it works...
And I'm not sure if the arpeggios are played with a guitar. Listen to it, I guess
ed it could be a piano or something like that.
Any other thing, just say.
See you
