[Verse]
D            Bm      G           A
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
D         Bm         G        A
Under the shade of a coolibah tree
   Bm         F#m         G               A
He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
D             Bm         G  A       D
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]
D          Bm       G        A
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
D             Bm         G          A
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
   Bm         F#m         G               A
He sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
D             Bm         G  A       D
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse]
     D           Bm         G             A
Well down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
D             Bm          G                A
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
   Bm            F#m         G              A
He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
D             Bm         G  A       D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]

Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
D             Bm         G          A
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
   Bm            F#m         G              A
He laughed as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag
D             Bm         G  A       D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse]
     D           Bm       G              A
Well up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred
D           Bm         G         A
Up rode the troopers – one, two, three
Bm                 F#m     G                  A
Where's that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker-bag?
D              Bm        G  A       D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]
D          Bm       G        A
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
D             Bm         G          A
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
Bm                 F#m     G                  A
Where's that jolly jumbuck you’ve got in your tucker-bag?
D             Bm         G  A       D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Verse]
     D             Bm          G             A
Well up jumped the swagman and jumped in the billabong
D            Bm       G         A
You'll never take me alive said he
    Bm           F#m          G            A
His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
D              Bm         G  A      D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

[Chorus]
D          Bm       G        A
Waltzing Matilda, Matilda my darling
D             Bm         G          A
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
    Bm           F#m          G            A
His ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
D             Bm         G  A       D
You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
