Chords with lyrics

D MajorD               A augmentedA
He came in from Melbourne on a Pioneer

G+G             A augmentedA
Adelaide morning, warm and clear

D MajorD           A augmentedA        G+G
And a past that wasn't quite within the law


D MajorD                  A augmentedA
And he opened yet another ten dollar room

G+G               A augmentedA
To a broken blind and a rising gloom

D MajorD            A augmentedA       G+G
And a threadbare cotton carpet on the floor

D MajorD                A augmentedA
And the muzak piping through the corridor

G+G             A augmentedA
Played that song he heard before

D MajorD           G+G           A augmentedA
It went, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?


D MajorD               A augmentedA
A majorA suitcase held with rope and twine

G+G              A augmentedA
Cleaner's shirt and an open mind

D MajorD          G+G         A augmentedA
A majorA trail of debts to mark where he had been


D MajorD           A augmentedA
A majorA million miles of racetracks

G+G            A augmentedA
And torn tickets on the ground

D MajorD          G+G         A augmentedA
And his only son cut down in Phnom Penh green


D MajorD                A augmentedA
A majorA police car crawled down Gouger street

G+G                 A augmentedA
As he looked for some place cheap to eat

D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA
It was just another curbside interview

D MajorD           A augmentedA
With a warrant out in Adelaide

G+G                A augmentedA
For a bad decision that he once made

D MajorD          G+G           A augmentedA
An instinct took his tongue and pulled him through


D MajorD               A augmentedA
So he left his hotel room that night

G+G             A augmentedA
In time to make a midnight flight

D MajorD         G+G       A augmentedA
With an overloaded truckie going east


D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And the line ran round inside his head

G+G                   A augmentedA
Was it something that his best friend said

F# minorF#m      G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"


B minorBm                   D MajorD      A augmentedA
A majorA billabong's just a grubby pond that's busy washing ore

G+G           A augmentedA        D MajorD
The squatter drives a thoroughbred of steel

D MajorD            A augmentedA            G+G
And if he runs forever, will his life be all in vain?

D MajorD        A augmentedA        G+G
At least that's how it makes him feel


D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And the truckie pushed a cassette in

G+G              A augmentedA
As they rumbled through the Grampians

D MajorD     A augmentedA       G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
It played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?


F# minorF#m
Waltzing Matilda

F# minorF#m
Waltzing Matilda

       G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?


F# minorF#m
Waltzing Matilda

F# minorF#m
Waltzing Matilda

       G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?


D MajorD            A augmentedA
And the truckie pushed a cassette in

    G+G
As they rumbled through the Grampians

  D MajorD          G+G           A augmentedA
It played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
