Tom: D
Introdução:
D A
He came in from Melbourne on a Pioneer
G A
Adelaide morning, warm and clear
D A G
And a past that wasn't quite within the law
D A
And he opened yet another ten dollar room
G A
To a broken blind and a rising gloom
D A G
And a threadbare cotton carpet on the floor
D A
And the muzak piping through the corridor
G A
Played that song he heard before
D G A
It went, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
D A
A suitcase held with rope and twine
G A
Cleaner's shirt and an open mind
D G A
A trail of debts to mark where he had been
D A
A million miles of racetracks
G A
And torn tickets on the ground
D G A
And his only son cut down in Phnom Penh green
D A
A police car crawled down Gouger street
G A
As he looked for some place cheap to eat
D G A
It was just another curbside interview
D A
With a warrant out in Adelaide
G A
For a bad decision that he once made
D G A
An instinct took his tongue and pulled him through
D A
So he left his hotel room that night
G A
In time to make a midnight flight
D G A
With an overloaded truckie going east
D A
And the line ran round inside his head
G A
Was it something that his best friend said
F#m G A D
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
Bm D A
A billabong's just a grubby pond that's busy washing ore
G A D
The squatter drives a thoroughbred of steel
D A G
And if he runs forever, will his life be all in vain?
D A G
At least that's how it makes him feel
D A
And the truckie pushed a cassette in
G A
As they rumbled through the Grampians
D A G A D
It played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
F#m
Waltzing Matilda
F#m
Waltzing Matilda
G A D
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
F#m
Waltzing Matilda
F#m
Waltzing Matilda
G A D
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
D A
And the truckie pushed a cassette in
G
As they rumbled through the Grampians
D G A
It played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
