Waltzing Matilda

C                  G7          C                 F
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
                 C             G7
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
            C             G7                C                  F
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
C                                     G7            C
Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Chorus:
C                         F
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
C                                                      G7
Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
            C             G7                C                  F
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
C                                     G7            C
Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me (Chorus)

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers One, Two, Three
Where’s that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag?
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me. (Chorus)

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into that billabong
"You’ll never take me alive" said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me. (Chorus)
