Waltzing Matilda
(Roger Clarke)

(starts on C)
CGAmFC
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong Under
EmGC
the shade of a coolibah tree And he sang as he
GAmF
watched and waited 'til his billy boiled
[chorus]:
    CG
    You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
    CCF
    me. Waltzing Matilda, waltzing
    C
    Matilda, You'll come a-waltzing
    G
    Matilda with me.
CGAm
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his
FCG
billy boiled, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda
C
with me.
     
CGAmF
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
CEmG
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
CGAm
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his
F
tucker bag,
[chorus]
CGAm
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his
FCG
tucker bag, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
C
me.
CGAm
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his
FCEmG
thoroughbred Down came the troopers, one, two,
CGAm
three. Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in
F
your tucker bag?
     
[chorus]
CGAm
Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your
FCG
tucker bag? You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with
C
me.
CGAmF
Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong
CEmG
"You'll never catch me alive," said he And his
CGAmF
ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
[chorus]
CGAm
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that
FCGC
billabong, You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
