C            Am       F             G
Once a Jolly swagman, camped a by a billabong
C         Am         F        G
under the shade of a coolabah tree
       Am           G               F               G
And he sang, and he watched, and he waited till his billy boiled
C                        G7         C
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]
C                 F
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda
C             F          C          G
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me
       C           G              C               F
And he sang and he watched and he waited till his billy boiled
C                        G7         C
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse]
C           Am         F            G
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
C             Am          F                G
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
       Am           G           F              G
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

[Chorus]
C                 F
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
C              F        C             G
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
       C           G           C               F
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

[Verse]
C           Am        F             G
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
C             Am        F           G
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
    Am              G        F                 G
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

[Chorus]
C                 F
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
C             F          C            G
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
   C           G              C                 F
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?",
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

[Verse]
C             Am            F             G
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
C             Am         F          G
"You'll never catch me alive", said he,
         Am           G             F               G
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

[Chorus]
C                 F
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
C             F          C            G
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
         C           G              C          F
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
