[C]   [Bm]    [Am7]     [D]   [G]  
[C] I wondered should I go or should I [Bm] stay..
the [Am7] band had only [D] one more song to [G] play.
And [C] then I saw you out the corner of my [Bm] eyes,
a [Am7] little girl a-[D]lone and so [G] shy. 

[D] I had the [G] last [Bm] waltz with [C] you.[Am7] 
[D] two lonely [C] people to-[G]gether.
[G7] I fell in [C] love with [Am] you
the [D] last waltz should [D7] last for[G] ever. 
 
[C] Thought the love we had was going [Bm] strong..
[C] through the good and bad we'd [D] get a[G]long.
And [C] then the flame of love died in [B] your[Bm] eyes
my [Am] heart was [C] broke in two when [D] you said good-[G]bye. 
 
[Em] I  [F#m] had the [G] last waltz with [C] you [Am7]     
[D] two lonely people to-[G]gether,
[G7] I fell in [C] love with [Am] you
the [D] last waltz should [D7] last [F#m] for-[G]ever 
 
It's all [C] over now, nothing left to [Cm7] say,
just my [G] tears and the [Em] orchestra [Am] play-[D ing.
[E] La, la, la, [Em] la, la, la, la, la, [A] la, [Bm] la...
[Am] la, la, la, la, [D] la, la, la, la, [G] la. 
 
[Em] I  [F#m] had the [G] last waltz with [C] you [Am7]     
[D] two lonely people to-[G]gether,
[G7] I fell in [C] love with [Am] you
the [D] last waltz should [D7] last [F#m] for-[G]ever.
[Em] La, la, la, la, la, la, la, [A] la..(Fade.)

Info: Arnold George Dorsey MBE (born 2 May 1936), known professionally as Engelbert Humperdinck, is a British pop singer who has been described as "one of the finest middle-of-the-road balladeers around".[1] He achieved international prominence in 1967 with his recording of "Release Me".

Starting as a performer under the name of Gerry Dorsey in the late 1950s, Humperdinck would find success after he partnered with manager Gordon Mills in 1965. His recordings of the ballads "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz" both topped the UK Singles Chart in 1967, selling more than a million copies each.[2] Humperdinck scored further major hits in rapid succession, including "There Goes My Everything" (1967), "Am I That Easy to Forget" (1968) and "A Man Without Love" (1968). In the process, he attained a large following, with some of his most devoted fans calling themselves "Humperdinckers". Three of his singles were among the best-selling of the 1960s in the United Kingdom.

His hardcore female fans called themselves "Humperdinckers". "Release Me" was succeeded by two more hit ballads: "There Goes My Everything" and "The Last Waltz", earning him a reputation as a crooner, a description which he disputed. As Humperdinck told Hollywood Reporter writer Rick Sherwood:

"If you are not a crooner it's something you don't want to be called. No crooner has the range I have. I can hit notes a bank could not cash. What I am is a contemporary singer, a stylised performer

"The Last Waltz" is a ballad, written by Barry Mason and Les Reed. It was one of Engelbert Humperdinck's biggest hits, spending five weeks at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart, from September 1967 to October 1967, and has since sold over 1.17 million copies in the United Kingdom. In Australia,

"The Last Waltz" spent nine nonconsecutive weeks at number one. In the United States, "The Last Waltz" reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and made the top ten of the easy listening chart.
