Intro:
D       Em11    D/F#    G    G
D/F#    D/F#     E7     E7   A7


G                       D/F#                         Em7        A7        D      Em7   D/F#
Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now
G                      D/F#                   E7                 A7
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you
       D          Em11           D/F#      G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me


G                            D/F# 
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley 
Em7                        A7        D      Em7   D/F#
And I'm tired of all these soldiers here
G                           D/F#                        E7                 A7
No one speaks English, and everything's broken, and my Stacys are soaking wet
       D          Em11      D         G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me


G                                D/F# 
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
Em7             A7     D      Em7   D/F#
A lot they can do for me
G                            D/F#                       E7                A7      
I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open, and I'm down on my knees tonight
G                                D/F#                    E7                  A7   
Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger, In your silhouette window light 
       D          Em11           D/F#      G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

      G                       D/F# 
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
Em7                 A7     D      Em7   D/F# 
And the one-armed bandit knows
          G                         D/F# 
And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs,
         Em11                A7
And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go
       D          Em11           D/F#      G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

       G                      D/F# 
No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say 
          Em7                 A7     D      Em7   D/F#
That the streets aren't for dreaming now
       G                         D/F# 
And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories, 
             Em11                A7
They want a piece of the action anyhow
       D          Em11           D/F#      G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

            G                      D/F# 
And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor,
        Em7         A7          D      Em7   D/F# 
And the old men in wheelchairs know
         G                        D/F#
And Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred,
         Em11                A7 
And she follows wherever you may go
       D          Em11           D/F#      G
To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 
D/F#                   Em11        A7
You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

            G                      D/F# 
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace,
         Em7         A7       D      Em7   D/F#  
And a wound that will never heal
      G                D/F#
No prima donna, the perfume is on  
        Em11            A7          D   
an old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
         G                                 D/F#
And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers
         Em11      A7       D
And goodnight to Mathilda, too

D       Em11 D/F#    G       G
D/F#    D/F#         Em11    A7  D
