Waltzing Matilda — Rod Stewart
It?s not 100 percent correct; I did it in my way. But I think it?s
playable and it sounds good. You have to listen to the song and
figure it out for yourself, how you have to
play the chords. This keyis not the correct key; it?s played in
this key by Tom Waits
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 C F
I?ve got what I paid for now
Bb F
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow
G C
A couple of bucks from you to go
F C F Gm F
Waltzing Matilda, 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
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
