Chords for Waltzing Matilda - Johnny Cash

[C] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Ebm] Hello all my friends [Gm] in [C] Australia
We'll be [Db] seeing you next March [G] April going on a tour in Australia
You know, we try to [C] remember that on our show.
We're doing [E] songs for everybody all over the country.
[Fm] We hope
[F] They're watching everywhere.
[Ebm] Well, actually all over the world and [C] a lot of places in the world
[Db] We try to do songs for everybody
[Gm] [Dm] But we'd like to do a [G] song that I learned from my friend Cole [C] joy in Sydney about ten years ago
And I'd like to translate
[Gm] In case you don't [Bb] know what the words mean.
[Dm] _ _ [G] It's kind of like the [C] national anthem in Australia almost
_ once a jolly [E] swagman
_ [F] camped by a [Ebm] billabong
_ [G] Now what I'm trying to say is [C] once a happy hobo
camped by a cool poo _ _ _
Under [G] the shade of the [Dm] coolie bar tree [Em] and
Translated that means under the shade of the coolie bar [Fm] tree
_ And he [C] sang [E] as he watched and [F] waited till [Gb] his [Eb] billy boy
That [G] means he's saying and Watson waited till his slum gullions to or whatever
hobos call her stew boil
You'll come [Gm] a-waltzing
[G] Matilda [C] with me that means [Ab] see the care their knapsack on their back
And when they walk along with it on their back, it swishes back and forth and they call [A] it wolf sing
_ [G] blue
[C] once a [E] jolly swagman
[F]
camped by a [Gb] billabong
[C] under [Bb] the shade [Dm] of the coolie [G] bar tree and
[C] He sang as [E] he watched [F] and waited [Gb] till his billy boy
[C] You come [E] a-waltzing
[Dm] [G] Matilda [C] with me _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _
[C] And he sang [E] as he watched [F] and waited till [Eb] his billy boy [C] Oh
[Db] _ _ _ [Dm] _
[G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ Down came [E] a jumbuck the drink [F] at the [Gb] billabong _
Translated see a jumbuck is a little animal
Well, it's halfway in between a big jackrabbit and a little deer
They call a jumbuck a drink at the billabong [C] up jumped a swagman [G] and grabbed [Dm] him with [G] glee _ and
[C] He laughed as he [E] stuffed
_ [F] That jumbuck in [Gbm] his tucker bag
_ [G] [C] You'll come a [Db]
-waltzing [Dm] _ [G] till
_ [C] _ _ _ _ Waltzing _ _ [F] Matilda Waltzing [Eb] Matilda
[C] You [Am] come a-waltzing
[Dm] Matilda [G] with me
[C] That _ [E] _ _
_ [F] jumbuck in [A] his tucker bag
[C] You'll come [Gm] a-waltzing [Dm] [G] Matilda [C] with me
[Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] Waltzing _ [Gb] Matilda, Waltzing [Gm] Matilda
[Db] You'll come a-waltzing [Ebm] Matilda [Ab] with me
[Db] And he left that [F] _ [Gb] young buck [E] in his hucker bag
[Db]
You'll [Bbm] come a-waltzing [Ab] Matilda [Db] with me
_ You'll come a [Bbm]-waltzing _ [Ebm]
Matilda [Ab] _ [Db] with me
