under the shade of a coolibah tree

and he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,

C Am G C

"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".

C F

"Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda,

C Am Dm G

you`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".

C Em Am F

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,

C Am G C

"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me".

2. Down came a jumback to drink at the billabong,

C Em Dm G

up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.

And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag,

3. Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred,

C Em Dm G

up rode the troopers, one-two-three.

C Em Am F

"Where`s that jolly jumbuck, you`ve got in your tucker bag?"

C Am G C

"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me." + REFRAIN

4. Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,

C Em Dm G

"You`ll never catch me alive", said he.

C Em Am F

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong,

C Am G C

"You`ll come a-waltzing Mathilda with me." + REFRAIN
