[F#] [D] When a [G] swaggy man took to the road with his [A] blanket [D] roll, he was said to be humping the bluey [Bm] or waltzing his Matilda
[Em] You see there were [A] no suitcases in the wild and [Bm] wide
Swags were the [F#m] furniture of the bush and neither [G] man or woman ventured [A] out without one
Slung over [D] the pack pony
Hanging [Bm] from the camel or an end of an [E] old stick with [A] a quart [D] pot dangling from the strap
They stood for house and home and [G] life's achievements
Oh, I've met donkey hoodies of [D] swags lean [Bm] and cadaverous
[Em] Fat little [A] Sanchos of swags
[D] Swags brand new with bright [F#] leather straps [Bm] swags grizzled and elderly
[G] Double bed [D] swags and swags that had been to England and back
[A] Swags heavy with [D] gold and swags pathetically empty after [A] the gathering [C#] of 50 [D] years
There once was a swag [G] man camped [A] by a [D] billabong
Under [Bm] the shade [Em] of a coolie [A] bar tree
[Bm] And he sang as he [F#m] watched [G] and waited till [A] his billy boy
[D] You'll come [Bm] a-waltzing [Em] [C#m] Matilda [D] with me Waltzing Matilda [G] Waltzing Matilda
[D] You'll [Bm] come a-waltzing [Em] Matilda [A] with me
[D] And he sang [F#] as he watched [Bm] and waited [G] till his billy [D] boy
You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me
[A] [D]
Down came a jump [G] up to drink [A] at the water [D] hole
Up [Bm] jumped the swag [Em] man and grabbed [A] him with glee
[D] And he sang [F#m] as he stowed [G] him away [A] in his tucker [D] bag
You'll [Bm] come a-waltzing [G] [A] Matilda [D] with me Waltzing [G] Matilda Waltzing [D] Matilda
You'll [Bm] come a [Em]-waltzing Matilda [A] with me
[D] And he sang [F#] as he stowed [Bm] him away [G] in his tucker [D] bag
You'll come a-waltzing [A] Matilda [D] with me
[A] [D] Down came the [G] squatter riding [A] on his [D] thoroughbred
Down [Bm] came [Em] policeman one, [A] two, three
[Bm] Where's the [F#m] jolly jump [G] up you [A] got in your tucker [D] bag?
You'll [Bm] come a [E]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me Waltzing [G] Matilda Waltzing [D] Matilda
You'll [Bm] come a [Em]-waltzing Matilda [A] with me
[D] Where's the jolly [F#] jump [Bm] up you got [G] in your tucker [D] bag?
You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me
[A] [D] But the swag man he upped [G] and he jumped [A] into the water [D] hole
[Bm] Drowning himself [Em] by the coulee [A] bar tree
[Bm] And his ghost [F#m] may be heard [G] as you walk [A] along the [D] billabong
You'll [Bm] come a-waltzing [E] Matilda [D] with me Waltzing Matilda [G] Waltzing Matilda
[D] You'll [Bm] come a-waltzing [A] Matilda with me
[D] And his ghost [F#] may be heard [Bm] as you walk [G] along the [D] billabong
You'll come a-waltzing [A] Matilda [D] with me
You'll come a-waltzing [G] Matilda, [A] me darlin'
[D] You'll [Bm] come a-waltzing [Em] Matilda [A] with me
[Bm] Waltzing [F#m] Matilda, [G] leading [A] the water bike
[D] You'll come [Bm] a-waltzing [A] Matilda [D] with me
[A] [D]
