Tuning: standard

Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong

under the shade of a coolibah tree and he

sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,

you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me and he (chorus)

sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at the waterhole

Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred

Down came the troopers, one , two and three

Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

But the swagman he up and jumped into that water-hole

Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong

Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?

this is a great aussie song, known of being always played at the rugby a... so hope it

good... its not perfect but its a pretty easy version of the song anyway

p.s. on the last line of each verse you can add in a Dsus or something... it doesnt

too bad... but thts for you to choose
