[Verse]
D Bm G A
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
D Bm G A
Under the shade of a coolibah tree

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

You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me
