Waltzing Matilda
words banjo paterson late 1800’s 
Lyrics and Chords courtesy of www.sailorsongs.com



D                  A             Bm               G
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

D              D/f#          A             A7
under the shade of a coolibah tree

             D                A/c#                  Bm                G
And he sang as he watched and he waited ‘till his billy boiled

D                                        A           D
Who’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me

D                           G
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda

D                                     A
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me

             D               A/c#                   Bm                  G
And he sang as he watched and he waited ‘till his billy boiled

D                                  A                   D
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me

D                       A                 Bm              G
Down come a Jumbuck to drink at the Billabong

D                   D/f#                A                          A7
Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him with glee

            D                A/c#             Bm           G 
And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag

D                                       A             D
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me….CHORUS


D                  A              Bm          G    
Up rode the squatter a riding his thoroughbred

D                  D/f#        A            A7
Up rode the troopers one, two, three

D                    A/c#                  Bm            G
Where is that jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker bag

D                                       A             D
You’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me….CHORUS

             D                  A          Bm                 G
But the swagman he up and jumped in the billabong

D                       D/f#            A            A7    
Drowning him - self  by the coolibah tree

              D                   A/c#          Bm             G     
And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the billabong

D                                        A             D
Who’ll come a waltzing Matilda with me…CHORUS
