Verse 1
Bb
Eb
When I was a young man,
Bb
Gm
I car ried my pack,
Bb
and I lived the free life of a rover.
From the Murray's Green
Eb
Bb
Basin to the dusty
Gm
Outback
Bb
Cm
Bb
I waltzed my Mathilda all over
F
Eb
Bb
Then in 1915 my country said son
F
It's time to stop rambling,
Eb
Bb
there's work to be done
Eb
So they gave me a tin hat
Bb
Gm
and they gave me a gun
Bb
F
Bb
And sen t me away to the war
Eb
Bb
And the bands played waltzing Mathilda
Eb
As we sailed away from the quay
F
Eb
And amid all the tears,
Bb
Eb
flag wav ing and cheers
Bb
We set sail for Gallipoli
Eb
Bb
How well I remember that terrible day
Gm
Bb
And the bloodstain,
the sand and the water
Eb
And how in that hell
Bb
that they called Suvabe
Gm
Bb
We were butchered like lambs
at the slaughter
F
Johnny Turkey was ready,
Eb
he primed himself well
Bb
F
He chased us with bullets
Eb
and rained us with shell
Bb
Eb
And in five minutes flat,
Bb
he'd blown us to hell
Gm
Bb
F
Bb
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
Eb
Bb
And the bands played Waltzing Matilda
Eb
F
As we stopped to bury our slain
Bb
and the Turks buried theirs
Eb
Bb
F
And it started all over again
Bb
Now those that were left
Eb
Bb
just tried to survive
Gm
Bb
F
Bb
In a mad world of blood, death an d fire
And for ten weary week
Eb
Bb
s I kept myself alive
Gm
Bb
As around me the corpses piled higher
F
Then a big Turkish shell
Eb
Bb
knocked me arse overhead
F
Eb
And when I awoke in my hospital bed
Bb
Eb
Saw what I'd done,
Bb
I wished I were dead
Gm
Bb
Never knew there were worse
things than dying
Eb
Bb
For no more I'll go waltzing Mathilda
Eb
F
All around the green bush far and near
Eb
For to hum tent and pegs,
Bb
Eb
a man needs both legs
Bb
No more waltz and Mathilda for me
Eb
They collected the cripples,
Bb
the wounded, the maimed
Gm
Bb
And they shipped us back
F
Bb
home to Australia
Eb
The armless, the legless,
Bb
Gm
the blind, the insane
Bb
Proud wounded heroes of Silva
F
Eb
Bb
And as our ship pulled into Circle or Quay
F
I looked at the place where
Eb
my legs used to be
Bb
And thank Christ there was
Eb
Bb
nobody waiting for me
Gm
Bb
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
Eb
Bb
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
Eb
Bb
As they carried us down the gangway
F
Eb
But nobody cheered,
Bb
Eb
they just stood there and stared,
Bb
and turned all their faces away
Eb
Bb
And now every April I sit on my porch
Gm
Bb
And I watch the parade pass before me
Eb
I watch my old com rades,
Bb
how proudly they march
Gm
Bb
Reliving old dreams of past glory
F
And the old men march slowly,
Eb
Bb
all bent stiff and sore
F
Eb
Bb
Forgotten heroes from a forgotten war
Eb
And the young people ask,
Bb
Gm
what are they marching for?
Bb
F
Bb
I ask myself the same question
Eb
And the band plays while
Eb
And the old men an swer the call
F
Eb
But year after year the
Bb
Eb
numbers get fewer
Bb
Someday no one will march
Waltzing Mathilda,
Eb
waltzing Mathilda
Bb
Who'll come a -waltzing
Bb
F
And their ghosts may be heard
Gm
Eb
As they march along the billabong
Bb
Bb
Who'll come a -waltzing Mathilda with me?
