[Intro]  
 D     A     D     A   
[Verse 1]
D            A       D           G
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
D                             A
Under the shade of a coolabah tree
D           A             D                   G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
        
[Chorus]
D                 G
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
   D        Bm         Em      A
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
       D          A           D               G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D     A    D   A   D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
[Verse 2]
D         A            D            G
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
D                                          A                    
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
D           A            D                   G
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
   D                   A            D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
      
[Chorus]
D                 G
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
   D        Bm         Em      A
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
       D          A           D               G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D     A    D   A   D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
[Verse 3]
D           A         D              G
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
D                             A
Up rode the troopers, one-two-three.
    D         A              D                  G
"Where`s that jolly jumbuck, you`ve got in your tucker bag
  D                    A            D              
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me. 
[Chorus]
D                 G
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
   D        Bm         Em      A
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
       D          A           D               G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D     A    D   A   D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

D             A            D              G  
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
D                                 A             
You`ll never catch me alive, said he
    D                A            D            G
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
   D                   A            D  
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me   
     
[Chorus]
D                 G
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
   D        Bm         Em      A
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
       D          A           D               G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D     A    D   A   D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
[Chorus]

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
   D        Bm         Em      A
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
       D          A           D               G
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
   D                   A            D     A    D   A   D
You`ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.
