D A7 Bm G
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
D
Under the shade of a Coolabar tree
D A7 Bm G
And he sang, and he watched, and waited till his billy boiled
D A7 D
You come a waltzing Matilda with me
D G D A7
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you come a waltzing Matilda with me
D A7 Bm G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
D A7 D
You come a waltzing Matilda with me
Along came a jumbuck to drink from that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You come a waltzing Matilda with me
Chorus - replace 2nd line with he sane as he
Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
Up jumped the troopers, One, Two, Three
that jolly jumbuck you got in your tucker bag?
You come a waltzing Matilda with me
Chorus - replace 2nd line with that jolly
Up jumped the swagman and jumped right in the billabong,
never get me alive said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass on by that billabong,
You come a waltzing Matilda with me
Chorus - replace 2nd line with his ghost
