------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Waltzing Matilda - Banjo Paterson ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi all, I had a look at the other tabs for this song and thought I would write a more detailed for those of you who want more than just the basic tune. I recommend finger-picking: for bass notes, fingers for melody. I realise that C,G,Am,F aren't the original chords that's nothing a capo on the 2nd fret won't solve. Besides that, it sounds just fine one. Without further ado- the classic campfire song (lyrics at the bottom.)

CHORUS Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. And he sang as he watched and waited 'till his billy boiled, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." ... VERSE TWO Now, down came a jumbuck, to drink at the billabong, Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee, And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." CHORUS TWO Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." ... VERSE THREE Up rode the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred, Down came the troopers: one, two, three. "Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?" "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" CHORUS THREE Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. "Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?" "You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me!" ... VERSE FOUR The swagman he up and he jumped into the waterhole. "You'll never take me alive," said he. And his ghost may be heard if you're passing by that billabong, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." CHORUS FOUR Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me. And his ghost may be heard if you're passing by that billabong, "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me." ===============================================================================
