This is my first tab. This is not how the song was originally written, but
it sounds better to my ears. The original only had the chords C, F and G,
but I like to add an Am and an E every now and again. This is played best
with a capo on the 3rd fret or the 8th fret, but it still sounds good
enough with no capo at all. It also sounds really nice when you fingerpick
it.

C (x32010@1)          G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)         FOnce (133211@1)a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
C (x32010@1)                  F (133211@1)      GUnder (320003@1)the shade of a Coolibah tree,
      Am (x02210@1)       E (022100@1)          F (133211@1)            CAnd (x32010@1)he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled,
C (x32010@1)          F (133211@1)         GYou'll (320003@1)come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

(This chord sequence is the same the whole way through)

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda,
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

.....................

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thorough-bred
Down came the troopers One Two Three
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
Whose that jolly jumbuck you've got in your tucker-bag
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

......................

Up jumped the swagman sprang in to the billabong
You'll never catch me alive said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.

Waltzing Matilda Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong
You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
