Now when I was a young man I carried me pack,
C G7 C
And I lived the free life of a rover,
F C Am
From the Murray's green basin to the dusty outback,
C G7 F
I Waltzed my Matilda all over.
G7 C F C
Then in 1915 my coutry said "Son,
G7 C F C
its time to stop rambling there's work to be done",
F C Am
So they gave me a tin hat and they gave me a gun ,
C G7 C
And they sent me away to the war.
C F C
And the band played Waltzing Matilda,
C Dm7 G7
As the ship pulled away from the quay,
F Am C Am
And amid all the tears, flag-waving and cheers,
C G7 C
We sailed off to Gallipoli.
Well I remember that terrible day,
