[Verse]
B E
Once Jolly swagmen went humpin their swags
B F#
And stuffed jolly jumbucks in their tuckerbags
B F# B E
These days jolly junkies go on bag snatchin jags
B C#m
And steal to buy the poison they need
F# B
The old swaggie just wanted a feed
E B
And wholl come a waltzing Matilda with me
F# B
Oh Banjo this countrys not what it used to be
E B G#m
We've changed all your words and rewritten your score
E F# B
Now it's waltzing Matilda no more
E F# B
E
Once Henry and Mary on a warm afternoon
B F#
Rode down a reedy river to the broad bright lagoon
B F# B E
The song of the river is a long vanished tune
B C#m
Since they built the uranium mine
F# B
What's just left now is just toxic slime
E B
And wholl come a waltzing Matilda with me
F# B
Oh Henry this countrys not what it used to be
E B G#m
Days pass with a whimper and not with the roar
E F#m B
And it's waltzing Matilda no more
E B
E
We cut down the trees and the land we reclaimed
B F#
We ploughed and we planted then we ploughed once again
B F# B E
And again and again and again and again
B C#m
So now on a hot windy day
F# B
We can watch our topsoil blown away
E B
And wholl come a waltzing Matilda with me
F# B
The desert is marching down to the sea
E B G#m
On the day that it stretches from shore to far shore
E F# B
Well go waltzing Matilda no more
E
Saturday night outside a Kings Cross hotel
B F#
Kids with hard drugs and soft bodies to sell
B F#m B E
Australia these children are halfway to hell
B C#m
Oh is this the best deal you can give?
F#m B
Well I find that hard to believe
E B
And wholl come a waltzing Matilda with me
F#m B
Hey ANZAC is this what you fought to keep free?
E B G#m
A land fit for heroes or homeless and poor
E F#m B
And it's waltzing Matilda no more
E B
And wholl come a waltzing Matilda with me
F#m B
This country could still be what we want it to be
E B G#m
With care and compassion the dream well restore
E F#m B
And well go waltzing Matilda once more, yeah
E F#m B
Well go waltzing Matilda once more
