Written by the banjo, Waltzing Matilda.
[D]
[A] [D]
Once [A] a jolly swagman [Dm] camped [G] by a [D] billabong, under the shade [A] of a koolabah tree.
[D] He sang [A] as he watched [D] and waited [G] till his billy [D] boiled,
you'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
Waltzing [G] Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
[D] you'll [B] come a [Em]-waltzing [A] Matilda with me.
[D] He sang [A] as he watched [D] and waited [G] till his billy [D] boiled,
you'll [A] come a-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
[A]
[D]
Down [A] came a [D] jumbuck to drink [G] at the billabong,
[D] up jumped the [A] swagman and grabbed him with glee.
[D] He sang [A] as he shoved [D] that jumbuck [G] in his tucker bag,
[D] you'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
Waltzing Matilda, [G] Waltzing Matilda,
[D] you'll [B] come a [Em]-waltzing [A] Matilda with me.
[D] He sang [A] as he shoved [D] that jumbuck [G] in his tucker bag,
[D] you'll come a-waltzing [A] Matilda [D] with me.
[A] [D]
Up rode [A] the squatter, [D] mounted on [G] his [D] thoroughbred,
up rode the troopers, [A] one, two, three,
[D] with the [A] jolly jumbuck [D] that you got in [G] your tucker bag.
[D]
You'll come a-waltzing [A] Matilda [D] with me.
Waltzing Matilda, [G] Waltzing Matilda,
[D]
you'll come [B] a [Em]-waltzing Matilda [A] with me.
[D] With the [A] jolly [D] jumbuck that you got in [G] your tucker [D] bag,
you'll come a [A]-waltzing Eustown [D] Row with me.
[A] [D]
Up [A] jumped the swagman, [D] sprang into [G] the billabong,
[D] you'll never take me [A] alive, said he,
and his [D] ghost [A] may be heard as [D] you pass [G] by that [E]
billabong.
[D] You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
Waltzing Matilda, [G]
Waltzing Matilda,
[D] you'll [B] come a [Em]-waltzing Matilda [A] with me.
[D] His ghost [A] may be heard [D] as you pass [G] by that billabong.
[D] You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me. Everybody!
Waltzing Matilda, [G]
Waltzing Matilda,
[D] you'll [B] come a [Em]-waltzing Matilda [A] with me.
[D] His ghost [A] may be heard [D] as you pass by that billabong.
You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
You'll
[A] [D] come a-waltzing [A]
Matilda with [D] me.
