   G               D          Em
As I walked to the last assembly,
           C                       G
There were tears in the back of my eyes,
    G            D                Em
And I saw all my friends all around me,
     C                     G
They were there to wish me goodbye.
     C          Am           G
As I stood in a line with my comrades,
  Bm                     Em    C
I felt such a feeling of pride,
      G              D             Em     C
And I forgot all the grief and the hatred inside,
      G                 D        G
As we sang for the very last time.

       G             D  
Gather round, gather round,
       G         C
Everybody gather round.
         G        D      Bm
Come and join our last assembly,
       G           Am           D
Let us smile, wipe away all the frowns.
       G             D
Gather round, gather round,    
      G           C
Everybody gather round.
       C           Am        G
As we stood at the last assembly,
         D                          G
All my friends came to wish me goodbye.
       G 
Gather round, gather round,
        D
Gather round, gather round,
      G           C
Everybody gather round.
      C           Am      G
As I stand at the last assembly,
       D                       (C-B-A-G)G
I just can't keep the tears from my eyes.
