Tom: F

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
