Kunci: A major
Verse 1
G
C
Now when I was a young man,
Em
G
D
G
And I lived the free life of the rover
From the Murray's green basin
C
G
Em
to the dusty outback
G
D
G
I waltzed my Matilda all over
D
C
G
Then in 1915, my country said, son,
D
it's time to stop rambling,
G
C
So they gave me a tin hat
G
Em
and they gave me
G
D
G
And they sent me away to the war
C
G
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
C
D
As the ship pulled away from the quay
C
Am
And amid all the tears,
G
C
flag waving and cheers
G
D
And we sailed off for Gallipoli
G
C
It's well I remember that
G
Em
terrible day
G
When our blood stained the
D
G
sand and the water
C
And how, in that hell that
Em
G
D
We were butchered like lamb
D
Johnny Turk, he was ready,
C
oh he primed himself well
G
D
He rained us with bullets
C
and showered us with shells
C
G
Em
we were all blown to hell
G
D
G
Nearly blew us back home to Australia
C
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
G
C
D
When we stopped to bury our slain
C
Am
And we buried ours,
G
C
and the Turks buried theirs
G
D
G
Then it started all over again
Em
G
D
In that mad world of blood,
D
G
An d for ten weary week
C
G
s I kept myself alive
Em
G
While around me the
D
G
corpses piled higher
C
knocked me heels overhead
G
D
C
And when I awoke in my hospital bed
G
C
And saw what it had done,
G
Em
I wished myself dead
G
D
Never knew there were worse
C
For no more I'll go I'll sing Matilda
G
C
D
All around the green bush, far and near
C
Am
For to hunt, tent and pegs,
G
C
a man needs both legs
G
D
G
No more waltzing Matilda for me
C
G
So now every April I sit on my porch
Em
G
D
G
And I watch the parade pass before me
Em
G
D
G
Renewing their dreams of past glory
D
C
G
I see the old men, all tired stiff and sore
D
C
The weary old heroes of a forgotten war
G
C
And the young people ask,
G
Em
what are they marching for?
G
D
G
And I ask myself the same question
C
G
And the band played waltzing Matilda
C
B
C#
And the old men still an swer the call
D
C#
D
C
But year after year,
Am
G
C
the numbers get fewer
G
D
Someday no one will march
Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda with me.
G
And their ghosts may be heard
C
As they march by the Pile of Awns
G
Am
G
Who'll come a -waltzing Matilda with me
