G
C
When I was a young man
C
G
And I lived the free life of a rover
D
From the Murray's green basin
G
C
to the dusty outback,
G
D
G
A
G
I waltzed my Matilda all over.
D
C
G
Then in 1915 my country said, son,
D
it's time to stop rambling,
C
cause there's work to be done
G
D
G
so they gave me a tin hat
C
G
and they gave me a gun
C
G
and they sent me away to the war and
D
G
C
G
the band played Waltzing Matilda
D
G
D
As we sailed away from the quay
C
And amidst all the tears
D
G
and the shouts and the cheers
We sailed off for Gallipoli
C
G
How will I remember that terrible day
When the blood stained the
D
G
sand and the wa ter
And how in that hell
D
C
that they call Suvla Bay
G
D
We were butchered like lamb
D
Johnny Turkey was ready,
C
he primed himself well
G
D
He shared us with bullets,
C
G
and he rained us with shells
C
And in five minutes flat,
G
he'd blown us all to hell
D
G
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
C
G
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
D
As we stopped to bury our slain
G
and the Turks buried theirs
D
G
And it started all over again
C
Now those who were living
G
did their be st to survive
D
G
In that mad world of dust, blood and fire
D
And for seven long weeks
C
G
I kept myself alive
D
G
Saw the corpses around me pile higher
D
Then a big turkey shell knocked
C
G
me a sober tip
D
C
G
And when I awoke in my hospital bed
C
And saw what it had done,
G
Christ I wished I was dead
Never knew there were worse
D
G
things than dy ing
C
G
And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
D
To the green bushes so far and near
C
For to hang tens and pegs
G
and my knees to legs
D
No more waltzing Matilda for
G
C
G
D
me
G
D
G
C
G
D
G
C
So they collected the cripples,
G
the wounded and maimed
And they shipped us back
D
G
home to Australia
D
The legless, the armless,
C
the blind and insane
D
G
wounded heroes of Southland
D
C
And as our ship pulled into circular quay
G
D
I looked at the place where
C
G
me legs used to be
And thank Christ there was
C
G
nobody waiting for me
D
G
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
C
G
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
D
As they carried us down the gangway
G
they just stood and stared
D
G
And they turned their faces away
C
G
And now every April I sit on my porch
D
G
And I watch the parade pass before me
D
I see my old comrades,
C
how proudly they march
G
D
G
Reliving the dreams of past glory
D
C
I see the old men all twisted and torn
G
D
C
The forgotten heroes of a forgotten war
G
C
And the young people ask me
G
what are they marching for
D
G
And I asked myself the same question
C
G
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
D
And the old men still answer the call
C
But year after year their num
D
Someday no one will march
Waltzing Matilda,
G
C
G
Ooh, got my Waltzing Matilda
