GD7GCGAD
[Verse 1]
CG
Wasted and wounded, it ain’t what the moon did,
AmDGD7G
I’ve got what I paid for now.
CG
See you tomorrow, hey, Frank, can I borrow
AA7DD7
a couple of bucks from you to go
[Chorus]
GD7GC
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
GAmD
you’ll go waltzing, Matilda, with me.
[Verse 2]
CG
I’m an innocent victim of a blinded alley,
AmDGD7G
and I’m tired of all these soldiers here.
CG
No one speaks English and everything’s broken,
AA7DD7
and my strength is soaking away to go
[Chorus]
GD7GC
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
GAmD
you’ll go waltzing, Matilda, with me.
[Verse 3]
CG
Now I’ve lost my St. Christopher, now that I’ve kissed her
AmDGD7G
and the one-armed bandit knows.
CG
And the maverick Chinaman with the cold blooded sigh,
AA7DD7
and the girls down by the striptease shows go
[Chorus]
GD7GC
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
GAmD
you’ll go waltzing, Matilda, with me.
[Verse 4]
CG
No, I don’t want your sympathy, the fugitives say,
AmDGD7G
that the streets aren’t for dreaming now.
CG
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories,
AA7DD7
what a piece of the action, anyhow go
[Chorus]
GD7GC
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
GAmD
you’ll go waltzing, Matilda, with me.
[Verse 5]
CG
And it’s a battered old suitcase in a hotel someplace,
AmDGD7G
and a wound that will never heal,
CG
no primadonnas, the perfume is on
AmDGD7G
and an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey.
C
And it’s good-night for the street-sweepers,
G
the nightwatchmen, flame-keepers,
AmDGD7G
and goodnight, Matilda, too.
CC/GD7G
Goodnight Matilda, too.
