Matilda No More  --- Slim Dusty with Kasey Chambers chords
Start Jamming...
[N] [C#m] [B]
Once jolly swagmen went [G#m] humping [E] their swags And stuffed [B] jolly jumbucks in their [F#]
tucker bags
These [B] days jolly [D#m] junkies go [B] on back [E] snatching jags [B] And steal to buy the poison they [C#m] need
The old [D#m] swaggy just [B] wanted a feed
And [E] who'll come waltzing [B] Matilda with me?
[F#] Oh Banjo, this country's not what it used [B] to be
[E] We've changed all your words [B] and rewritten [G#m] your score Now [E] it's waltzing [F#] Matilda [B] no more
[E]
[B]
Once Henry and Mary on a warm [E] afternoon Rode down [B] the Dainty River to the [F#] Broadbride Lagoon
The [B] song of [F#] the river is a [D#m] long [E] vanished tune [B] Since they built the uranium [C#m] mine
[F#] What's left now is just [B] toxic slime
And [E] who'll come waltzing [B] Matilda with me?
[F#] Oh Henry, this country's not what it used to [B] be
Days [E] pass with the whimper [B] and not with the [G#]
roar And [E] it's [F#] waltzing Matilda [B] no more
[E]
[B]
We cut down the trees and the land we [E] reclaimed We ploughed and [B] we planted, then we ploughed once [F#] again
[B] And again [F#] and again and again and [E] again
[B] So now on a hot windy [C#m] day We can [F#] watch our topsoil blown [B]
away
[E] And who'll come waltzing [B] Matilda with me?
[F#] The desert is marching down to [B] the sea
[E] On the day that it stretches [B] from shore to [G#] far shore We'll [E] go waltzing [F#]
Matilda [B] no more
[E] [D#m]
[B]
Saturday night outside of King's Cross [E] Hotel Kids with [B] hard drugs and soft bodies to [F#]
sell
[B]
[F#] Australia's these children [B] are half way [E] to hell [B] Oh is this the best deal you can [C#m] give?
[F#] Well I find that hard [B] to believe
[E] And who'll come waltzing [B] Matilda with me?
[F#] Hey Anzac, is this what you fought to [B] keep free?
[E] A land fit for heroes [B] or homeless [G#m] and poor [E] And it's waltzing [F#] Matilda [B] no more
And [E] who'll come waltzing [B] Matilda with me?
[F#] This country could still be what we want it [B] to be
[E] With care and compassion the [B] dream will [G#] restore And we'll [E] go waltzing [F#] Matilda [B] once more
Yeah, we'll [E] go waltzing [F#] Matilda [B] once more
[E]
