WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Bogle Eric - And The Band Played Tabs | Version #1
Hi folks,
Does anyone have the chords for 'And the band played Waltzing Matilda',
by Eric Bogle?
Well, I don't know the Eric Bogle version, but I once had a tape of some
Tommy Makum & Ian Clency (Hope I spelled their names right..) live concert
where they played this and they used the following cords. Just try 'em and
see if they fit. It's in a swingy 3/4 or maybe 6/8.
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
C F C a
When I was a young man I carried my pack
C G C
and I lived the free life of a rover.
C F C C a
C G C
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
G F C
Then nineteen fifteen my country said "son,
G F C
It's time you stopped ramblin' there's work to be done!"
a C a
And they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun
C G C
And they sent me away to the war.
C F? C
But the band played "Waltzing Matilda"
C F G
As the ship pulled away from the quay,
F d C F
But amid all the tears, the flag waving and cheers,
C G C
They sent us to Galipolis
^^^ sp.?
And so forth.
Cheers,
Rodi
