WALTZING MATHILDA
écoutez / listen / hören
C Em Am F
Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong
C Em Dm G
under the shade of a coolibah tree
C Em Am F
and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
C Am G C
"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".
C F
"Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,
C Am Dm G
you`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".
C Em Am F
And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
C Am G C
"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".
C Em Am F
Down came a jumback to drink at the billabong,
C Em Dm G
up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
C Em Am F
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
C Am G C
"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".
C Em Am F
Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
C Em Dm G
up rode the troopers, one-two-three.
C Em Am F
"Where`s that jolly jumbuck, you`ve got in your tucker bag?"
C Am G C
"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me."
C Em Am F
Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
C Em Dm G
"You`ll never catch me alive", said he.
C Em Am F
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
C Am G C
"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me."
