[Verse]
Bb                    F              Am      
Wasted and wounded it ain't what the moon did
Gm7        C7       F  
Got what I paid for now
Bb                  Am7               
See ya tomorrow hey Frank can I borrow
  G7                   C7 
A couple of bucks from you
F              Gm7      F        Bb      
To go waltzing Mathilda waltzing Mathilda
F         Gm7                        C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me ■ 
       Bb                   Am           
I'm an innocent victim of a blinded alley
             C7                 F    C7
And tired of all these soldiers here ■ 
Am Bb                        Am           F     
■  No one speaks English and everything's broken
       G7                 C7 
And my Stacys are soaking wet


[Chorus]
      Gm7               F        Bb      
To go waltzing Mathilda waltzing Mathilda
Am7                          Gm7  C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me
Bb               F                          Gm7    
Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking
               F        
A lot they can do for me


[Verse]
Bb                      F                        
■  I begged you to stab me you tore my shirt open
G7                 C7           
And I'm down on my knees tonight
Bb               F                              
Old Bushmill's I staggered you buried the dagger
G7              C7          
Your silhouette window light


[Chorus]
      F        Gm7      Am       Bb      
To go waltzing Mathilda waltzing Mathilda
Am7       F         Gm7           C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me
      Bb                        F                       
Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her
        Gm7      C7     F    
And the onearmed bandit knows


[Verse]
    Gm7     Bb                        F                
And ■   the maverick Chinaman and the coldblooded signs
        Gm7               C7              
And the girls down by the striptease shows


[Chorus]
   F        Gm7      F        Bb      
Go waltzing Mathilda waltzing Mathilda
Am7    F            Gm7           C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me


[Verse]
   Bb                        
No I don't want your sympathy
F                          Gm7                C7       F   Gm7
The fugitives say that the streets aren't for dreaming now ■  
Bb                            F                        
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories
            Gm7                 C7    
They want a piece of the action anyhow


[Chorus]
   F        Gm7      Am7      Bbmaj7  
Go waltzing Mathilda waltzing Mathilda
Am7    F            Gm7           C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me


[Verse]
    Bb                             F                   
And you can ask any sailor and the keys from the jailor
        Gm7        C7          F    C7
And the old men in wheelchairs know ■ 
     Bb                           F                     
That Mathilda's the defendant she killed about a hundred
        Gm7              C7         F
And she follows wherever you may go ■


[Chorus]
         Gm7      Am7      F Bb      
Waltzing Mathilda waltzing ■ Mathilda
Am7       Gm7                     C7
You'll go awaltzing Mathilda with me


[Verse]
           Bb                         F              
And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
Gm7                   F         
And a wound that will never heal


[Chorus]
Bb                F                
■  No prima donna the perfume is on
Gm7                  C7           F         Am     
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
    Bb                      F       
And goodnight to the street sweepers
                         Gm7                   C7       F    
The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight Mathilda ■ too


[Outro]
Gm7 F Gm7 C7 F
