		   Waltzing Matilda - Banjo Patterson

Tuning: standard


                              
Once a jolly swagman camp'd by a billabong
                           
under the shade of a coolibah tree and he
                                   
sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled
                                 
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me


                           
Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
                                   
you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me and he          (chorus)
                               
sang as watched and waited till his billy boiled
                                 
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me


                                
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the waterhole
                                       
Up Jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee
                                           
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag
                                 
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me


                                    
Down came the Squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
                                  
Down came the troopers, one , two and three
                                       
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in ya tucker-bag?
                                
You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me


                                        
But the swagman he up and jumped into that water-hole
                              
Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree
                                           
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong
                                
Who'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?


this is a great aussie song, known of being always played at the rugby a... so hope it 
good... its not perfect but its a pretty easy version of the song anyway
p.s. on the last line of each verse you can add in a Dsus or something... it doesnt 
too bad... but thts for you to choose
