[F#m] [D]
[A] Once a jolly swagman [G]
camped by a [D] billabong under the shade [A] of a cooler bar tree,
[D] and he sang [A] as he watched and [G] waited till his billy boiled,
[D] You'll come a [F#m]-waltzing Matilda with [D] me.
Waltzing Matilda, [G]
waltzing [D] Matilda, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with [A] me.
[D] And he [A] sang as he watched [D] and waited [G] till his billy [D] boiled,
You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
[A] [D]
Down [A] came a jumbuck to drink [G] at the [D] billabong,
Jumped the [A] swagman and grabbed him with glee,
[D] And he sang [A] as he stowed that [G] jumbuck in his tucker bag,
[D] You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda [D] with me.
Waltzing [G] Matilda, waltzing [D]
Matilda, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda [A] with me.
[D] And he [A] sang as he stowed [D] that [G#] jumbuck in [G] his tucker [D] bag,
You'll come a [A]-waltzing [D] Matilda with me.

Up rode the squatter, mounted [G] on his [D] thoroughbred,
Up rode the [A] troopers, one, two, three,
[D] With that jolly jumbuck that you've [G] got in your tucker [D] bag,
You'll come a [F#m]-waltzing [D] Matilda with me.

[D] You'll never [A] take me alive, said he, [D] and his ghost may be [A] heard as you're passing [C] [G] by that billabong.
[D] You'll come a [A]-waltzing Matilda with [D] me, waltzing [G] Matilda, waltzing [D] Matilda.
