TOM TRAUBERT�S BLUES � ROD STEWART � Unplugged and Seated Album

Guitar tuned one semi-tone flat to be in the same key as the album

Intro: C/Dm/C/F/C/C/D/D7/G/G7

F                       C
Wasted and wounded, it ain�t what the moon did
      Dm          G       C-G-C
I�ve got what I paid for now
F                      C
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
   D                    G
A couple of bucks from you to go
C            G        C          G      C          G
Waltzing Matilda,   waltzing Matilda, you�ll go waltzing
Dm            G
Matilda with me

I�m an innocent victim of a blinded alley
And I�m tired of all these soldiers here
No one speaks English and everything�s broken
And my strength is soaking away to go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you�ll go waltzing
Matilda with me

Now I�ve lost my St. Christopher
Now that I�ve kissed her
And the one-armed bandit knows
And the maverick Chinaman with a cold blooded sigh
And the girls down by the striptease shows go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you�ll go waltzing
Matilda with me

No, I don�t want your sympathy
The fugitives say, that the streets ain�t for dreaming now
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
Want a piece of the action anyhow go
Waltzing Matilda,... waltzing Matilda, you�ll go waltzing
Matilda with me


And it�s a battered old suitcase
To a hotel someplace
And a wound that would never heal
No primadonnas, the perfume is on
        Dm             G
An old shirt that is stained

G7     C    G    C
With blood and whiskey
           F
And it�s good-night to the street-sweepers,
            C
The nightwatchmen, flame-keepers
      Dm        G  G7  C
And goodnight matilda, too


Have fun..........I think the chorus is a bit iffy so if anyone would care to have a go..................
