Intro: F / Gm / F / Bb / F / F / G /
 G7 / C / C7
       Bb                     F
1.:    Wasted and wounded, it ain?t 
what the moon did
            Gm                  F 
       I?ve got what I paid for 
    C   F
now
       Bb                    F
       See you tomorrow, hey Frank, 
can I borrow
         G                    C
       A couple of bucks from you to
 go
       F                C  F     
       Waltzing Matilda,   
   Gm       F
waltzing Matilda, you?ll go waltzing
         Gm         C
       Matilda with me

2.:    I?m an innocent victim of a 
blinded alley
       And I?m tired of all these 
soldiers here
       No one speaks english and 
everything?s broken
Continues after the ad

       And my strength is soaking 
away to go
       Waltzing Matilda,...

3.:    Now I?ve lost my St. 
Christopher
       Now that I?ve kissed her
       And the one-armed bandit 
knows
       And the maverick chinaman 
with the cold blooded signs
       And the girls down by the 
striptease shows go
       Waltzing Matilda,...

4.:    No, I don?t want your 
sympathy
       The fugitives say, that the 
streets aren?t for dreaming now
       Manslaughter dragnets and the
 ghosts that sell memories
       They want a piece of the 
action anyhow go
       Waltzing Matilda,...

5.:    And it?s a battered old 
suitcase
       To a hotel someplace
       And a wound that will never 
heal
       No primadonnas, the perfume 
is on
              Gm            C
       An old shirt that is stained
       C7   F     C   F
       With blood and whiskey
                Bb
       And it?s good-night for the 
street-sweepers,
                F
       The nightwatchmen, 
flame-keepers
           Gm          C  C7  F
       And goodnight matilda, too

Outro: Gm / F / Bb / Bb / F
       Gm          C  C7  F
       Goodnight Matilda, too
