|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?"

   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
