C         C/E        F  G       C


           C           G       Am          F
There once was a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

C         C/E        Dm7      G
Under the shade of a coolibah tree

       C          G           Am              F
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled

C                C/E     F  G       C
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me 

C           G          Am           F
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong

C           C/E        Dm7              G
Up got the swaggie and grabbed him with glee

       C          G           Am             F
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag

C                C/E     F  G       C
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me 

C          C/E    F          G
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

C             C/E        Dm7        G
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

       C          G           Am             F
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker-bag

C             C/E        F  G       C
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me 


Down came the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
Up came the troopers One Two Three
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me 

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me
Who's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag?
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me. 

Up got the swaggie and jumped into the billabong
You'll never catch me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me 

C          Gm7/Bb Am         G
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

C             C/E         Dm7       G
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me

        C            Gm7/Bb       Am           Ab
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

C             C/E        F  G       C
You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me.
