  Intro:

  F Gm7  F/A  Bb

  F/A  G7  C7

  

  Bb                               F/A                                 			Gm7           C7           F      C7/G   F/A

  Wasted and wounded, it ain't what the moon did, I've got what I paid for now

  Bb                                 F/A                          G9                               C7

  See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow a couple of bucks from you

                  F       Gm7            F/A      Bb

  To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  F/A                         Gm7        C7

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  

  

  Verse 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, and my Stacys are soaking wet

  To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  Now the dogs are barking and the taxi cab's parking

  A lot they can do for me

  I begged you to stab me, you tore my shirt open, 

  And I'm down on my knees tonight

  Old Bushmill's I staggered, you'd bury the dagger 

  In your silhouette window light go

  

  To go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  Now I lost my Saint Christopher now that I've kissed her 

  And the one-armed bandit knows

  And the maverick Chinamen, and the cold-blooded signs, 

  And the girls down by the strip-tease shows, go

  Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  No, I don't want your sympathy, the fugitives say 

  That the streets aren't for dreaming now

  And manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories, 

  They want a piece of the action anyhow

  Go waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  And you can ask any sailor, and the keys from the jailor, 

  And the old men in wheelchairs know

  And Mathilda's the defendant, she killed about a hundred, 

  And she follows wherever you may go

  Waltzing Mathilda, waltzing Mathilda, 

  You'll go waltzing Mathilda with me

  

  And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace, 

  And a wound that will never heal

  No prima donna, the perfume is on an 

  

  Gm7           C7       F   Gm7     F7/A

  Old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey

  Bb            F/A  

  And goodnight to the street sweepers, the night watchmen flame keepers

  Gm7   C7   F 

  And goodnight to Mathilda, too

  

  Gm7  F/A  Bb  F/A  Gm7  C7  F
