Waltzing Matilda - The Squalls
The Squalls’ take on this classic is a nice lively jig.
The solos can be replaced with some noodling on a G harmonica.

(INTRO)
[Organ plays classic chorus chords slowly (and out of concert pitch)]
then [Intro piano riff]

(intro solo) G D Em C x4

(VERSE)
|G D |Em C D
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
|G D |Em C
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
|G D |Em C D
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled:
|G D |Em C
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"
|G D |Em Em
Waltzing matilda with me.

(mandolin solo) G D Em C x4

(VERSE)
[Same chords for all verses]
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he stole that jumbuck in his tucker bag:
"You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing matilda with me.

(fiddle solo) G D Em C x4

(VERSE)
Down came the squatter, and mounted on his thoroughbred.
Down came the troopers, one, two, and three.
"Where’s that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me."
Waltzing matilda with me.

(fiddle/mando solo) G D Em C x4

(VERSE)
Up jumped the swagman he dove into the billabong.
"You'll never catch me alive!" said he
And his ghost can be heard all along the billabong:
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda, with me?"
Waltzing matilda with me.

(ending solo) G D Em C x4 and fade out
