    Under the shade of a cool bah tree
      D          A              D                 G
    And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,

    You'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me

2. Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong,
     D                                      G
     Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
     D         A             D                   G
    And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
    D                A            D
    You'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me.       + CHORUS  RPT

     D        A           D                   G
3. Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,
      D                     G
    Up rode the troopers, one-two-three.
        D         A               D                  G
    "Where's that jolly jumbuck, you've got in your tucker bag

4. Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
     D                                G
    You'll never catch me alive, said he
        D                A        D                G
    And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,
     D            A                  D
    You'll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me        + CHORUS RPT  X 2
