Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
       C            G           C               F
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".

Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
C                        G
Down came the troopers, one, two, three,
       C            G         C                 F
"Where's that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?"

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
C             F          C            G
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
   C           G              C                 F

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
C                       G
"You'll never catch me alive", said he,
         C           G              C               F
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,

"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me".
 
C                 F
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda
C             F          C            G
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me"
         C           G              C          F
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
C                        G7           C
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda, with me."
