Waltzing Matilda

Banjo Paterson

3:4 Key:G


[G]Once a jolly [D7]swagman [G]camped by a [C]billabong
[G]Under the shade of a coolibah [D7]tree,
And he [G]sang as he [D7]watched and [G]waited till his [C]billy boiled:
[G]"Who'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me?"

[G]Waltzing Matilda, [C]waltzing Matilda
[G]You'll come a-[E7]waltzing Ma[Am]tilda, with [D7]me
And he [G]sang as he [D7]watched and [Em]waited till his [C]billy boiled:
[G]"You'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Down came a [D7]jumbuck to [G]drink at that [C]billabong.
[G]Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with [D7]glee.
And he [G]sang as he [D7]shoved that [G]jumbuck in his [C]tucker bag:
[G]"You'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Waltzing Matilda, [C]waltzing Matilda
[G]You'll come a-[E7]waltzing Ma[Am]tilda, with [D7]me
And he [G]sang as he [D7]shoved that [Em]jumbuck in his [C]tucker bag:
[G]"You'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Up rode the [D7]squatter, [G]mounted on his [C]thoroughbred.
[G]Down came the troopers, one, two, and [D7]three.
[G]"Whose that jolly [D7]jumbuck [G]you've got in your [C]tucker bag?
[G]"You'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Waltzing Matilda, [C]waltzing Matilda
[G]You'll come a-[E7]waltzing Ma[Am]tilda, with [D7]me
[G]"Whose that jolly [D7]jumbuck [Em]you've got in your [C]tucker bag?
[G]"You'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Up jumped the [D7]swagman and [G]sprang into the [C]billabong.
[G]"You'll never take me alive!" said [D7]he
And his [G]ghost may be [D7]heard as you [G]pass by that [C]billabong:
[G]"Who'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."

[G]Waltzing Matilda, [C]waltzing Matilda
[G]Who'll come a-[E7]waltzing Ma[Am]tilda, with [D7]me
And his [G]ghost may be [D7]heard as you [Em]pass by that [C]billabong:
[G]"Who'll come a-waltzing Ma[D7]tilda, with [G]me."
