D A Bm G
Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong
D A7 D A
under the shade of a coolibah tree and he
D A Bm G
sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
D A7 D
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
D G D
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
D G D A
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me and he (chorus)
D A7 Bm G
sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled
D A7 D
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
D A Bm G
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the waterhole
D A7 D A
Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
D A Bm G
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
D A7 D
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
D A Bm G
Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
D A7 D A
Down came the troopers, one , two and three
D A Bm G
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?
D A7 D
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
D A Bm G
But the swagman he up and jumped into that water-hole
D A7 D A
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
D A Bm G
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
D A7 D
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?
this is a great aussie song, known of being always played at the rugby a... so hope it
good... its not perfect but its a pretty easy version of the song anyway
p.s. on the last line of each verse you can add in a Dsus or something... it doesnt
too bad... but thts for you to choose
